文摘

Dynamic tests are performed on flexible retaining walls using a laminar container. Effect of geofoam inclusion stiffness and wall flexibility on dynamic behavior was investigated. Up to 50% reduction in dynamic pressures may occur for cantilever retaining walls. Wall deflections contribute to the seismic load reduction efficiency of geofoam.
