This paper provides an insight information about performance of retaining wall considering seismic condition by referring the past studies. As a result inappropriate analysis and design leads to poor construction due which losses occurs economically as well in physical aspect, avoid this situation especially highly zone, types behavior soil should be known designer before structure. So far many...

Abstract—Under active stress conditions, a rigid cantilever retaining wall tends to rotate about a pivot point located within the embedded depth of the wall. For purely granular and cohesive soils, a methodology was previously reported called minimization of moment ratio to determine the location of the pivot point of rotation. The usage of this new methodology is to estimate the rotational sta...

The earth retaining structures frequently represent key elements of ports and harbors, transportation systems, lifelines and other constructed facilities. Earthquakes might cause permanent deformations of retaining structures and even failures. In some cases, these deformations originated significant damages with disastrous physical and economic consequences. For gravity walls, the dynamic eart...
