ABSTRACT

The article outlines the most important aspects and presents the main calculation results for the gravitational retaining wall with a significant horizontal load under dynamic (seismic) impact. A comparative analysis of the calculations of the operational case showing seismic load on natural base soils is presented, as well as measures to increase the bearing capacity of the base are proposed. The studies were carried out for two types of retaining walls (a reinforced corner wall with the front console and a solid concrete wall) in a wide range of sizes of retaining walls and characteristics of sandy backfill, as well as soil conditions of the base.
