Abstract

A new method is proposed to evaluate the seismic stability of a rigid retaining wall undergoing translation or rotational failure. In the present method, strain-dependent dynamic properties are used to assess the seismic stability of rigid retaining walls against sliding and overturning failure conditions. The effect of foundation soil properties on the stability of retaining walls is also considered. From the parametric study, it is observed that the foundation soil properties have a significant effect on both sliding and rotational stability of rigid retaining walls. This can be attributed to the use of strain-dependent dynamic properties and the consideration of foundation soil properties. The predictions of the proposed method are compared and verified against the results from other methods proposed in the past. The percentage increase in the results compared to the existing literature is a maximum of 10 and 28% for rigid (bedrock) and flexible (sand deposit) foundation, respectively.
