In-Situ Dynamic Response of Cantilever Walls
Publication: Analysis and Design of Retaining Structures against Earthquakes
Abstract
Full scale dynamic testing is undertaken to monitor the vibrational characteristics of cantilever wall-soil systems. Impact hammer as well as controlled shaker excitation at different force levels are employed. Two different reinforced concrete cantilever wall-soil systems are studied. The employed testing techniques are described and the recorded modal characteristics are presented. These modal characteristics may be used for the purpose of seismic design; and for calibration of computational and/or small scale laboratory centrifuge models.
