Abstract
The displacements of retaining walls developed during earthquakes have been recognized for many years. Mathematical models have been developed to simulate the behavior of retaining walls during earthquakes. The determination of the soil parameters needed for solution of the displacements has neither been adequately described nor used in a realistic analysis. In this paper theories describing spring and damping constants of rigid retaining walls, for both the base-soil and the back-fill, arc discussed along with the recommended solutions.
