Abstract:The assessment of forces exerted on walls by the backfill is a recurrent problem in Geotechnical Engineering, owing to its relevance for both retaining systems and underground structures. In particular, the work by Veletsos and Younan becomes pertinent when considering pressure increments on underground structures triggered by seismic events. These scholars furnished the first satisfactory engineering solution corresponding to a simple configuration, which has become a milestone in the field. This paper presen… Show more
