Study of Seismic Behavior of Retaining Walls - A Review

Abstract

Safe and efficient design of retaining wall requires knowledge of active and passive earth pressure. For the earthquake effects the proper attention to reduce the destruction. The pseudo-static analysis for retaining wall provides an approximate result. Pseudo-dynamic method provides a better picture for the design. This method considers the dynamic effect with time and phase difference including the seismic wave velocities. This study compares both the method for design of retaining wall.
