.... Fragility curves are effective tools for evaluating earthquake-induced damage. This study focuses on developing fragility functions for embedded cantilever retaining walls. A key innovation of this research is identifying intensity measures (IMs) that strongly correlate with wall responses, addressing gaps...

...Monica Joseph, BTech; Subhadeep Banerjee, BEng, MTech, PhD, MASCE; Vikram Pakrashi, BEng, PhD, CEng, MIEI, MASCE The response of gravity retaining walls under strong earthquake motions is a topic of concern since large catastrophic failures have become more frequent during earthquake and post...

The authors of C760 provide an overview of the new guidance on the selection...

... the different effects of corners in sections parallel and perpendicular to a retaining wall. This highlights that corner effects may actually induce additional damage due to the introduction of a movement gradient, as opposed to the common previous perception that assumed that they were always conservative...
