Seismic Behavior of Gravity Retaining Walls
Rowland Richards,David G. Elms +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used the quasi-static Mononobe-Okabe analysis for the prediction of earthquake dynamic forces on a gravity retaining wall, and showed that wall inertia effects are of the same order as the dynamic soil thrust.
Journal ArticleDOI
Passive Pressure During Seismic Loading
TL;DR: In this article, the results of a parametric study based on a Mononobe-Okabe analysis of passive earth pressure resistance of cohesionless soils under dynamic loading are presented. But, since passive resistance decreases with increasing ground acceleration, retaining structures designed for static loading conditions may prove to be inadequate under seismic loading.
Journal ArticleDOI
Full-Range Analysis of Concrete Frames
Angel L. Lazaro,Rowland Richards +1 more
TL;DR: An analytical model which will predict the full-range behavior of reinforced concrete beams and frames has been developed and agreement is good with successive concrete cracking, moment distribution, and hinge formation illustrated.
Journal ArticleDOI
Stresses around flexible elliptic pipes
TL;DR: In this paper, the effect of interface slippage on the elastic soil-structure interaction of long-span, flexible, elliptic culverts and underpasses is studied.
