Abstract
A numerical study is conducted to examine the dependency of the mode of movement of retaining wall on the dynamic earth pressure by using double shear band formulations. The active state has been defined to be at that stage when the backfill forms either a clear failure wedge or a banded zone. The results of the analyses have been compared with the experimental observations as well as with the classical theories. Failure pattern of the backfill is seen to be governed by the wall movement modes. In addition, the domain of the failure zone is found to increase with the increase of the acceleration level.
