State-of-the Art Review on Seismic Design of Retaining Wall

Abstract

This paper provides an insight information about performance of retaining wall considering seismic condition by referring the past studies. As a result of inappropriate analysis and design leads to poor construction of retaining wall due to which losses occurs economically as well as in physical aspect, to avoid this situation especially in highly seismic zone, types and behavior of soil condition should be well known by the designer before the design of structure. So far many approaches has been carried out by the different researchers are reviewed in this paper.
