Through coming into force of the Concrete Construction Technical Regulations [1], to the European standards were also added [2] and [3] (Attachment I.4, Standards) in civil engineering, i.e. construction and geotechnical regulations. Based on this, a need appeared for revising current technical regulations [4] and critical view of new standards. A certain number of comparable analyses on as lar...

Two centrifuge tests on a quay wall and cantilevered retaining with saturated granular backfills were simulated using Finn-Byrne model. Capabilities of model in liquefaction analysis the evaluated. The subjected to horizontal acceleration time history vertical history. constitutive is linear elastic – perfectly plastic Hooke’s elasticity Mohr-coulomb criterion for yield surface assumed backfill...

The use of mechanically stabilized earth (MSE) retaining wall has gained popularity as an alternative of conventional cast in place concrete walls. The construction of mechanically stabilized earth wall is cost effective, requires less site preparation and technically more feasible compared to conventional concrete retaining wall. However, use of backfill with high fine content and their poor d...

This study, tries to suggest a design method based on displacement using finite difference numerical modeling in reinforcing soil retaining wall with steel strip. In this case, dynamic loading characteristics such as duration, frequency, peak ground acceleration, geometrical characteristics of reinforced soil structure and type of the site are considered to correct the pseudo static method and ...

The evaluation of seismic earth pressures is of vital importance for the earthquake resistant design of various retaining walls and infrastructures. It is one of the key research subjects in soil mechanics and geotechnical engineering. In engineering practices, the magnitude and distribution of seismic earth pressures are greatly affected by the mode and amount of wall displacement. However, cl...
