<p>Observations of the performance of basement walls and retaining structures in recent earthquakes show that failures of basement or deep excavation walls in earthquakes are rare even if the structures were not designed for the actual intensity of the earthquake ...

<p>Observations of the performance of many different types of retaining structures in recent earthquakes show that failures of retaining structures, including braced excavation supports and basement walls, are rare even if the structures were not designed ...

<p>In the following sections, we will first discuss basic considerations necessary for<br />calculating lateral earth pressure and then how to apply these pressures in developing the force. We will illustrate how the lateral forces are combined with vertical ...

<p>This paper is a contribution for the application of Eurocode 7 design methodology, based on the limit state design (LSD) approach. The design methodology of Eurocode 7 is applied to a concrete gravity retaining structure resting on a relatively homogeneous ...

This report explores a design procedure for roadside barrier systems mounted on the edge of a mechanically stabilized earth (MSE) wall. The procedures were developed following American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials Load and Resistant ...

This report explores a design procedure for roadside barrier systems mounted on the edge of a mechanically stabilized earth (MSE) wall. The procedures were developed following American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials Load and Resistant ...

<p>Load and resistance factor design (LRFD) (often called limit states design (LSD)) has been mandated in the AASHTO Bridge Design Specifications and will be adopted in future editions of Canadian Highway Bridge Design Code for all transportation-related structures ...

<p>A comparison between observed data and design value of earth retaining wall deflection due to braced excavation was carried out in soft and sensitive clay ground of some construction sites of Osaka Subway Line No.8. The beam-spring model was employed in ...

<p>This paper presents the design, construction and back analysis of the basement retaining wall of a major commercial development in Bogota, Colombia. The development consists of 4 eleven-story office towers, and 4 basements for car parking use, occupying ...

<p>This ongoing research will help answer the questions that continue to arise as Reclamation is faced with detailed analysis and modifications of spillways and other earth-retaining structures subjected to significant seismic loading. The objective of this ...
