Fragility curves constitute an emerging tool for the seismic risk assessment of all
constructions at risk. They describe the probability of a structure being damaged beyond a …

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 …

This paper is concerned with the response behaviour of a retaining wall in seismic
conditions from a two-dimensional perspective. The backfill was levelled behind the wall for …

The present work deals with assessment of earthquake-induced displacement of the base
restrained retaining walls (RW's). A detailed and rigorous finite element (FE) investigation …

Mononobe‐Okabe (M‐O) method is still employed as the first option to estimate lateral earth
pressures during earthquakes by geotechnical engineers. Considering some simple …

The seismic behavior of earth retaining structures continues to remain a critical
consideration in engineering design and lessons learned from the full-scale performance of …

The dynamic response of cantilever retaining walls under seismic actions was studied by
means of 1-g shaking table at the Earthquake and Large Structures Laboratory (EQUALS) …

The dynamic response of the retaining structures is a complex issue, and a major challenge
in their design, especially under seismic loading conditions. So a reliable and efficient …
