The present study deals with evaluation of the effects of different ground motions, backfill-
structure interaction (BSI) and soil-structure interaction (SSI) on dynamic response of a box …

The present study has two objectives for the design of cantilever walls based on the local
site conditions: i) estimating the minimum foundation width in the seismic loading condition …

Seismic fragility analysis plays a crucial role in performance-based seismic design (PBSD).
The seismic fragility analyses for the concrete gravity retaining walls were performed in this …

We evaluate seismic fragilities for cantilever retaining walls with three slope angles of
backfill (ie, 0, 10°, and 20°), subjected to the ground motions computed for four site classes …

It is acknowledged that various sources of uncertainties play a vital role in the seismic
vulnerability of slope systems, while many studies ignore these sources in seismic …

A pseudo-static study on dry-joint brick retaining walls has been carried out as part of a
preliminary work aiming at designing actual dry stone retaining walls located in seismic …

A bstract The earthquake-induced damage to earth-retaining structures located along
roadway network clearly affects the operations during the emergency and rescue phases in …

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 …

Earth retaining structures, ERSs, are used in many engineering fields. Special
considerations and technical knowledge in geotechnical engineering should be adopted in …

The seismic behaviors of retaining walls were evaluated considering only a single
earthquake. However, aftershock or foreshock ground motions can occasionally be as …
