...D. Choudhury; S. M. Ahmad This paper presents an analysis of the external stability of a waterfront reinforced soil retaining structure. Such structures, in addition to being subjected to normal hydrostatic pressures, are also subjected to earthquake, which gives rise to additional seismic inertia...

...D. Choudhury; S. S. Nimbalkar; J. N. Mandal Determination of the external stability of reinforced soil walls under earthquake condition is an important topic of research for geotechnical engineers. In the present paper, a pseudo-dynamic method, which considers the effect of phase difference in both...

... sliding and toppling, deep-seated failure, and compound instability, may occur. Current “external stability” design addresses the same identified modes and mechanisms; hence, reinforcement dimensioning based on these mechanisms seems appropriate. 10 4 2001 8 8 2001 25 8 2001...
