Effect of Submergence on Seismic Displacements of Rigid Retaining Walls
Abstract
Rigid walls experience significant displacements during earthquakes. Eurocode (1994) recommends permissible displacements. Wu and Prakash (1997) used only some provisions of Eurocode-8 Ch7 (1994) to study performance of retaining walls during earthquake with dry or submerged conditions. A critical review of the behavior of the retaining walls during earthquakes, and comprehensive displacements of a typical wall for several backfills and foundation soils have been made by Wu and Prakash (1998). In this paper, the question of submergence of walls has been considered in further detail, according to provisions of Eurcode.
