Cantilever walls are frequently and necessarily built not only in earthquake prone regions
but also on different foundation subsoils with various physical and mechanical …

Considering the devastating damages of 'forward-directivity'on structures, a series of finite
element models were conducted to evaluate the seismic performance of cantilever retaining …

In the present study, an experimental study was performed to investigate the direct shear
behavior of precast panel connections using steel fiber-reinforced cementitious mortar shear …

Pseudo-static seismic design procedure for Geosynthetic Reinforced Soil (GRS) walls
includes the selection of a suitable horizontal seismic coefficient for external and internal …

An important characteristic of some clays is their abundance of fissures. In the case study
reported here, to investigate how the fissure inclination angle affects the deformation and …

This paper investigates excessive dynamic lateral earth pressures on retaining structures
due to hydrodynamic pore water pressure caused by earthquakes considering nonlinear soil …

The response predictions for the Rigid Faced (RF) Geosynthetic Reinforced Soil (GRS) wall
depend significantly on the considered modelling approach for soil-reinforcement interfaces …

This study proposes seismic design charts to predict the permanent displacements in
cantilever retaining walls. These charts are developed considering the realistic v-shaped …

There are few systematic studies on the risk probability assessment, although embankment
seismic damages are extremely serious. Meanwhile, retaining walls and other retaining …

The displacement-based design methods for bridge abutments, essentially cantilever
retaining walls, require an input of expected ground motion on-site. For major projects, these …
