Seismic Soil-Interaction on Earth Retaining Structures. Performance-based seismic design of a Retaining Wall

摘要

The design of containment walls suffering seismic loads traditionally has been realized with methods based on pseudoanalitic procedures such as Mononobe-Okabe's method, which it has led in certain occasions to insecure designs, that they have produced the ruin of many containment walls suffering the action of an earthquake. A method is proposed in this paper for the design of containment walls in different soils, suffering the action of an earthquake, based on Performance-Based Seismic Design.
