Seismic internal stability assessment of geosynthetic reinforced earth retaining wall in cohesive soil using limit analysis

Assessment of internal seismic stability of geosynthetic reinforced cohesive soil retaining walls with likelihood for developing cracks in the failure mechanism is typically done with the limit equilibrium method. However, in this paper, the kinematic theorem of limit analysis combined with the disc...

description Assessment of internal seismic stability of geosynthetic reinforced cohesive soil retaining walls with likelihood for developing cracks in the failure mechanism is typically done with the limit equilibrium method. However, in this paper, the kinematic theorem of limit analysis combined with the discretization method are used to implement the crack formation in the collapse mechanism in the internal seismic assessment of geosynthetic reinforced soil retaining walls within the framework of the pseudo-static approach. The presence of the crack leads to an increase of the required reinforcement strength that prevent the failure of the structure.
