“…To develop the seismic technology of the retaining wall, some researchers (Bakhtin 2002;Nimbalkar and Choudhury 2007;Nadim and Whitman 1983;Yao 2003) have begun to study its failure mechanism in an earthquake according to model tests and field surveys. However, most of the work only focus on the phenomenon descriptions but ignored the process analysis, which could not explain the interaction between wall body and seismic force, such as the response of the structure to seismic and so on.…”

To explain the failure mechanism of a retaining wall in an earthquake and put forward effective aseismic measures based on energy theory, and taken from the upper bound theorem as a measure, the safety of anchor system is defined, and then the mechanism of input and dissipation of seismic energy is studied. Furthermore, by analyzing the wave characteristics of a destructive earthquake, an aseismic design of a retaining wall is proposed according to the flexible retaining theory. At last, an example is given and the result shows that the seismic behavior of a common rigid retaining wall is poor and the structure fails quickly under large seismic force with specific direction. On the contrary, the new system with an EPS damping layer can dissipate seismic energy well.
