Abstract: A relatively simple rigid plastic model for evaluating the seismic displacement of rigid retaining walls resting in dry cohesionless soils is presented. The wall displacement caused by both the sliding and tilting modes ...

Abstract: The response of fluid‐saturated porous media to moving surface load is important in many fields of engineering and physics. The approach outlined in this paper represents an attempt at expanding the state‐of‐the‐art in the ...

Abstract: A semianalytical approach based on Biot's formulation for porous medium to evaluate the layered nonlinear response of a soil subjected to a moving load is presented in Part I of this paper. Part II describes the verification ...

Abstract: Conventionally used FWD backcalculation and pavement stress‐strain computation procedures are based on linear static layered elastic theory. This paper presents a simple hypothetical case study in which the applicability ...
