...Y. Yu; R. J. Bathurst The paper demonstrates the use of the response surface method (RSM) to carry out probabilistic assessment of selected performance features of geosynthetic-reinforced segmental retaining walls under operational conditions. The method substantially reduces the number of Monte...

...R.J. Bathurst; Z. Cai The paper examines seismic stability analyses of geosynthetic-reinforced segmental retaining walls (modular block walls). Stability analyses are developed within the framework of a pseudo-static approach that gives factors of safety against collapse mechanisms or rupture...
