Abstract
The great number of significant variables which effect the seismic behavior of retaining structures make this both a fascinating subject and a difficult one. The ten papers in this session cover both elastic and plastic aspects of analysis and design for a wide variety of wall types. To help put them in perspective, a new, fundamental seismic free-field solution will be reviewed briefly. This will serve as a benchmark from which the effects of changing the lateral boundary condition by introducing various types of walls can then be evaluated.
