THE DESIGN OF RETAINING WALLS FOR SEISMIC CONDITIONS: THE PROBLEM OF EQUILIBRIUM LIMIT

V Berni

Abstract

This article describes a calculation procedure for determining the weight of a gravity retaining wall, designed to satisfy limit equilibrium conditions. A comparison is made with other methods of evaluating seismic effects on soil thrust and the stability of the structure. (TRRL)
