Studies on seismic earth pressure of cohesive backfill
Abstract
A resultant force and a distribution of seismic earth pressure acted on a movable model wall was measured using a shaking table test. Sand used in the tests is slightly cohesive. It was found that the results agree with the theoretical calculation. The critical seismic coefficients for the base sliding of the gravity type quay walls were obtained by using the calculation and it was shown that the seismic damage can be well explained with this criterion.
