Seismic Analysis of Reinforced Soil Walls

(OP)
Hi All;
I just want to know if anyone could help me on "Seismic Analysis of Reinforced Soil Walls".
Any Libratory Data would help me.



RE: Seismic Analysis of Reinforced Soil Walls

I believe that the Mononabe-Okabe pseudo-static analysis is generally believed to be recommended and fairly conservative for geosynthetic reinforced walls.  This can be found in Mitchell and Villet, 1987 and Christopher et al. 1990.  For metallic reinforcement Vrymoed 1990 is a source.

RE: Seismic Analysis of Reinforced Soil Walls

I have a manual titled "Segmental Retaining Walls-Seismic Design Manual" by the National Concrete Masonry Association dated 1998- phone #(703)713-1900

RE: Seismic Analysis of Reinforced Soil Walls

The other places to look are AASHTO and the FHWA.  I believe that the Army Corp of Engineers has also done some research into this field.

RE: Seismic Analysis of Reinforced Soil Walls

See FHWA-NHI-00-043 downloadable for free from the FHWA website.  Worked examples and all.
