Abstract Due to their multiple uses and structural challenges they outline during normal circumstances seismic events, retaining walls constitute an important concern for civil engineers. Design of these structures requires accurate determination lateral earth pressure under various conditions. Considering the dynamical action excitation, total cohesion-less soil backfills is often estimated by...

In civil engineering and construction, in the selection of most adequate sustainable alternative, all alternatives criteria, such as requirements construction process (which are often overlooked) preferences designers, clients, or contractors, not always taken into account. The purpose this article is to suggest a methodology that may allow studying possible find ideal solution among existing p...
