Given the abundance and importance of earth retention structures, the problem of seismic
earth pressure has attracted not only the research community but also industry and …

An overview of past and recent developments on the subject of seismic earth pressures on
yielding, gravity-type walls, retaining cohesionless backfill, is first presented, focusing on …

In this paper we revisit the problem of modelling analytically the kinematic interaction
between a single pile and its surrounding soil under the action of seismic shear waves, by …

During earthquake ground shaking earth pressures on retaining structures can cyclically
increase and decrease as a result of inertial forces applied to the walls and kinematic …

The earthquake response of cantilever retaining walls is explored by means of theoretical
analyses and shaking table testing conducted at University of Bristol (EERC-EQUALS). The …

The available simplified analytical methods for the seismic design of underground structures
either assume yielding or rigid-unyielding conditions. Underground reservoir structures do …

The dynamic response of an elastic continuously nonhomogeneous soil layer over bedrock
retained by a pair of rigid cantilever walls to a horizontal seismic motion and the associated …

In this paper, a general solution for evaluating the Coulomb-type seismic active earth
pressure that acts on a rigid retaining wall from the cohesive backfill soil is shown together …

An approximate elasto-dynamic solution is developed for computing seismic earth pressures
acting on rigid walls retaining continuously inhomogeneous elastic material and excited by …

A solution for the response of flexible retaining walls excited by vertically propagating shear
waves in inhomogeneous elastic or viscoelastic soil is obtained using the weak form of the …
