“…Numerous previous studies on the dynamic earth pressure on a retaining wall have shown contradictory results [17][18][19][20][21][22]. Certain results support the M-O theory, but others do not.…”

“…In this study, the viscous boundary model [15] is used in three dimensions to consider radiative effect of the seismic waves through the soil medium. To represent the behavior of the semiinfinite backfill medium, the critical minimum distance from the face of the wall is taken as 10 H, a value which is believed to approximate adequately the behavior of the semi-infinite layer [4,9]. In this context, the dashpots were also placed 10H away from the wall in three dimensions to improve the accuracy of the simulation.…”

Knowledge of the seismic behavior of cantilever retaining walls is an important component for their successful design in earthquake prone areas. In this study, a finite element procedure was used to investigate the effects of backfill soil properties variation on seismic response of a cantilever retaining wall. In this procedure, not only soil-structure interaction but also backfill-wall interaction was taken into consideration. Considering four different backfill soil conditions, the dynamic analyses of backfill-cantilever wall-soil/foundation system were carried out in time domain through ANSYS program. The magnitudes of lateral displacements and stresses were determined by performing non-linear time history analyses. As a result, based on the response amplification/reduction pattern observed on the lateral displacements and stresses, it is concluded that the dynamic behavior of cantilever walls is highly sensitive to the backfill characteristics.Keywords: Soil-structure interaction, Seismic response, Finite element method, Time history Konsol Bir İstinat Duvarının Sismik Davranışı Üzerinde Dolgu Etkileşiminin Değerlendirilmesi Üzerine Parametrik Bir Çalışma ÖzKonsol duvarların sismik davranışının bilinmesi, bu yapıların deprem bölgelerindeki başarılı tasarımını tesis etmek için önemli bir unsurdur. Bu çalışmada, konsol bir istinat duvarının sismik tepkisi üzerinde dolgu özellikleri değişiminin etkilerini incelemek için bir sonlu elemanlar yöntemi kullanılmıştır. Bu yöntemde zemin-yapı ve dolgu-duvar etkileşimleri dikkate alınmıştır. Dört farklı dolgu zemini koşulu dikkate alınarak, dolgu-konsol duvar-temel/zemin sisteminin dinamik analizleri zaman ortamında ANSYS programıyla gerçekleştirilmiştir. Yerdeğiştirme ve gerilmeler doğrusal olmayan analizlerle belirlenmiş ve dinamik davranışın dolgu özelliklerine oldukça duyarlı olduğu ortaya konmuştur.

“…Numerical analysis of embedded cantilever retaining walls in dry coarse-grained soil under seismic condition using Tolmezzo time acceleration history data has been analyzed in FLAC [8]. A number of studies has been done on other types of retaining walls such as gravity, cantilevered, anchored walls or mechanically stabilized earth retaining walls under seismic condition ( [9], [10], [11], [12], [13], [14]). …”
