The Deformation Character of Retaining Wall under Horizontal Earthquake

Abstract:

The soil pressure can be influenced by the deformation of retaining wall because of the interaction of wall and soil. The dynamic soil pressure and plastic bottom displacement induced by earthquake action will subsequently result the deformation of the wall. The dynamic soil pressure will vary with the wall deformation and, on the other hand, change the deformation of the wall. The wall under lateral earthquake is assumed to be a single freedom system, thus only one deformation mode is considered in this paper. Based on this assumption, the differential equation of wall-soil dynamic interaction system is proposed.
