Abstract: In the present analysis, using the horizontal slice method and D'Alembert's principle, a methodology is suggested to calculate the pseudo-dynamic active earth pressure on battered face retaining wall supporting cohesive-frictional backfill. Results are presented in tabular form. The analysis provides a curvilinear rupture surface depending on the wall-backfill parameters. Effects of a wide range of variation of parameters like wall inclination angle (a), wall friction angle (d), soil friction angle (F), shear wave velocity (Vs), primary wave velocity (Vp), horizontal and vertical seismic accelerations (kh, kv) along with horizontal shear and vertical loads and non-linear wedge angle on the seismic active earth pressure coefficient have been studied.
