... seismic loading. First, the dynamic earth pressure on the wall during base shaking causes both elastic and plastic deformation in the back®ll, leading to recoverable and irrecoverable (residual) displacements of the retaining wall, even in the absence of wall `yield'. The magnitude of this residual...

...) tests measuring axial strains locally. The deformation at strains smaller than about 0´001% was essentially elastic. The elastic Young's modulus from TC tests, evaluated at axial strains less than about 0´001%, was nearly the same as the ®eld value from seismic surveys. The stiffness from conventional...
