A new methodology for the rotational stability analysis of a gravity retaining wall supporting inclined backfill under earthquake and heavy rainfall conditions has been presented. According to the movement mode of retaining wall and the characteristics of backfill sliding and rainwater infiltration, a sliding model of the infinite soil strip and rainwater infiltration model were established respectively. By calculating the internal energy dissipation rate and external loads power of the wall-soil system mechanism, a formula to calculate seismic yield acceleration coefficient under coupling conditions of earthquakes and rainfall was deduced. The results revealed a large effect size of infiltration depth of rainwater and the backfill inclination on the seismic yield acceleration coefficient. When the rainwater reaches 1/5 the height of the retaining wall and the backfill inclination exceeds 15°, the seismic yield acceleration coefficient will decrease rapidly. Moreover, the results obtained in this paper showed good consistency with those obtained by numerical simulation.
