SYNCHRONIZATION OF HTW PEAK RESPONSES WITH PEAK GROUND ACCELERATION

Pseudo-static analysis of seismic performance of an earth structure based on the assumption of the synchronization of its peak responses with the peak ground acceleration are described in this paper. For a mechanically stabilized earth retaining wall, the acceleration, horizontal wall displacement, earth pressure, bearing pressure, and inclusion stresses depict its seismic response. Nonlinear finite analyses performed on a 10-m HTW wall show that all above responses peak synchronistically with the peak horizontal ground acceleration except that the bearing pressure under simultaneous horizontal and vertical ground shakings.
