ABSTRACT

Example 11. 17 A gravity retaining wall is required to be designed for seismic conditions for the active state. The following data are given:

Height of wall = 8 m 8=0°, f3= 0, l/J= 30°,8= 15°, kv = 0, kh = 0.25 and r= 19 kN/m3. Determine Pae and the approximate point of application. What is the additional active pressure caused by the earthquake?
