Soil friction on a retaining wall under seismic load
The paper is the first to establish that the classical quasi-static analytical calculation of the retaining wall for seismic load indirectly reflects the wave nature of the impact of the sandy backfill soil on the rear surface of a retaining wall.

Static and dynamic story shear in split-level building on sloping ground [PDF]
Building structures located on slopes behave differently than structures located on flat ground because of the different levels of stepped floors made to overcome the slope of the land, resulting in several layers of basements. Also, due to the existence

Reliability Analysis of Gravity Retaining Wall
AbstractIn this article, When considering effect of earthquake and under ground water. The failure mode of gravity earth-retaining wall and the way of settling the limit of reliability are analyzed. Based on project improved JC Method is applied to calculate unitary reliability, the pertinence with the invalid mode being considered farther, the limit ...

A two-rigid block model for sliding gravity retaining walls [PDF]
This paper presents a new two rigid block model for sliding gravity retaining walls. Some conceptual limitations of a direct application of Newmark's sliding block method to the case of retaining walls are discussed with reference to a simple scheme of ...

Behaviour of Retaining Wall Founded on Collapsible Soil – A Prototype Laboratory Study
Retaining walls may be required in a location where gypsum may present in soil in large percentages .The behavior of retaining walls on ordinary soils is well known but the behavior of retaining walls resting on gypseons soils may be not well understood

Vibrational dynamics of confined granular material [PDF]
By means of two-dimensional contact dynamics simulations, we analyze the vibrational dynamics of a confined granular layer in response to harmonic forcing. We use irregular polygonal grains allowing for strong variability of solid fraction.
