... in retaining walls (Pierson et al. 2011 ; Jiang et al. 2016 2019; Shen et al. 2020 ; Jawad et al. 2021). The use of geogrids can enhance the overall stiffness of the backfill through interaction between the soil and geogrids, thereby reducing backfill settlements...

...M. Lee; D. Basu Mechanically stabilised earth (MSE) walls have gained widespread popularity in North America because of their cost-effectiveness and reliable performance. Although the use of carbon-intensive materials for MSE walls is significantly lower compared to conventional retaining walls...

... for geotechnical structures, as they are subject to significant scatter and uncertainties in their properties. In this context, this paper presents an application of Reliability-Based Design Optimization (RBDO) for the problem of geosynthetic-reinforced soil retaining walls. Design variables include the mean...

...M. Mojallal; A. Ghanbari; F. Askari ABSTRACT: Calculating the seismic displacement of reinforced retaining walls is important for optimal design of these structures. Using the limit analysis theorem, in this study an innovative approach has been proposed for calculating the coefficient of yield...
