TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present an experimental study of the earthquake performance of modular-block reinforced soil retaining walls which were backfilled with sand using large-scale benchmark shaking table tests.

TL;DR: In this article, a hyperbolic function is proposed as an improved tool to simulate the settlement-time relationships, as well as to detect final settlement, and the relationships between the parameters of these empirical functions and water content are examined.

TL;DR: In this article, a validated finite element procedure was used for conducting a series of parametric studies on the behavior of reinforced soil walls under construction and subject to earthquake loading, and the performance of the wall was presented for the facing deformation and crest surface settlement, lateral earth pressure, tensile force in the reinforcement layers and acceleration amplification.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors focused on the behavior of a large-diameter burial pipe with special reference to its stability against flotation subject to soil liquefaction and used a viscous fluid in a saturated soil deposit satisfied the time scaling relationships of both dynamic and dissipation phenomena.

TL;DR: In this paper, the seismic response of five large-scale retaining walls having a geocell facing was summarized, which showed that geocells can be used successfully to form gravity walls as well as reinforcement layers even when subjected to a very high seismic load beyond that of the Kobe earthquake.
