... method is developed for sliding stability calculations of reinforced soil retaining walls subjected to ground acceleration, which is based on the more commonly-observed, two-part wedge failure mechanism. The proposed analysis method is validated against the results of two shaking table model tests...

...P. Xu; K. Hatami; T. Li Natural frequency has a significant influence on the dynamic response of structures. In this study, a new transfer matrix method is proposed to calculate the natural frequencies of reinforced soil retaining walls by modeling the facing and reinforcement layers as a beam...

...M. S. Ramezani; A. Ghanbari; S. A. A. Hosseini Based on the theory of beams on elastic foundations, a new analytical solution for calculating the natural frequencies of reinforced-soil retaining walls is presented. The assumed retaining wall is geosynthetic-reinforced, with a full-height rigid...

...F. Tatsuoka; M. Tateyama; T. Uchimura; J. Koseki During the past decade, more than 26 km of geosynthetic-reinforced soil retaining walls (GRS-RWs) with full-height rigid (FHR) facings were constructed in Japan as important permanent structures mainly for railways and occasionally for highways...
