Abstract
Seismic stability analysis is an important aspect for design of safe retaining walls in earthquake prone areas. In this study, limit equilibrium method is used to compute the rotational displacement of the gravity retaining wall on rigid foundation supporting cohesionless backfill along with pseudo-dynamic seismic forces. In the computation of rotational displacement, the location of the rotating wall and the shift in the point of application of the seismic earth pressure after each time step is included which is ignored in the rotating block method. From the present analysis, it is found that the rotational displacement depends on the characteristics of the input motion, properties of the backfill and the wall material.
