.... This paper presents a reliability-based analysis of the seismic internal stability of geosynthetic reinforced earth retaining walls. The deterministic computation of the structure safety factor is based on the upper bound theorem of limit analysis. The discretization technique is used to generate...

...N. Biswas; P. Ghosh This paper explores the ultimate bearing capacity of two closely spaced interfering strip footings resting on a reinforced cohesionless soil bed using upper-bound limit analysis. The soil is assumed to follow the Mohr-Coulomb failure criteria along with the associated flow rule...

...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...
