Limit state analysis of rigid retaining structures against seismically induced passive failure in heterogeneous soils

Soils are not necessarily uniform and may present linearly varied or layered characteristics, for example the backfilled soils behind rigid retaining walls. In the presence of large lateral thrust imposed by arch bridge, passive soil failure is possible. A reliable prediction of passive earth pressu...
