.... 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...

..., MICE, MIAM; William Powrie, FREng, MA, MSc, PhD, CEng, FICE This paper details key aspects of the update of the Construction Industry Research and Information Association’s good practice on embedded retaining walls (C760). 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...

... observational method (OM) framework described in the Construction Industry Research and Information Association’s guide C760 – the new revision to the Embedded Retaining Walls design guide C580. This new OM framework is described by four approaches, and these are explained with reference to case...

... structures in the form of permanent bored pile walls or L-shaped retaining walls were considered depending on the height of the vertical cutting. The proposed developments were founded on piles or shallow foundation bearing directly on rock. The master layout plan and the approximate excavation levels...

... ground mass to the adjoining retaining wall. The pressure is assessed through finite-element analysis (FEA). The additional load and deformation imposed on the station box walls during an earthquake are due to (a) the instability of rock wedges and (b) ground shaking and the associated deformation...
