Abstract |
|
This paper presents a comparison of the various methods of analysis of retaining wallsunder seismic loads, which is considered to be very complex.As the soil-structure interaction during the earthquake is very complex, the most commonly used methods for the seismic design of retaining walls are the Pseudo static method, Seed and Whitman method and Mononobe and Okabe method. The retaining wall analysis includes determining the factor of safety for overturning, and sliding as well as the resultant location of the forces, which must be within the middle- third of the footing,. A concrete retaining wall is considered with a certain height and base width, and then analyzed for the static case as well as the earthquake loading condition. Based on this study, it is found that factor of safety obtained by Seed & Whitman method (1970) is lowest as compared to others methods. |
