Seismic earth pressures on braced wall in sand (Rooz01)

A series of dynamic centrifuge experiments on stiff and flexible Braced walls with dry medium dense sand backfill was performed in order to evaluate the validity of the various assumptions and analysis procedures currently used for the evaluation of seismically induced forces on retaining structures.为评估当前用于评估挡土结构（retaining structures）所受地震诱发作用力的各类假设与分析方法的合理性，本研究开展了一系列动态离心模型试验（dynamic centrifuge experiments），试验对象为采用干燥中密砂作为回填填料的刚性与柔性支撑式挡土墙（Braced walls）。
