Seismic Response of Retaining Wall with Anisotropic Backfills
In this study, eight earthquake centrifuge tests were performed on a model of a cantilever retaining wall to study the seismic response of a retaining wall with anisotropic backfills. A special rigid container was designed and used to prepare models with different directions of soil deposition. The eight centrifuge models had 0, ±45 and 90 degrees of sand deposition angles and with dry or saturated backfills. It was shown that the fabric anisotropy had a strong effect on the settlement of backfill and the response of the retaining wall. It was also clear that the acceleration in the soil was sensitive to the fabric anisotropy of granular materials.
