Comparison of Active Soil Thrusts Acting on the Retaining Walls According to Eurocode-8 and Turkish Earthquake Code
Journal Title: Gazi Üniversitesi Fen Bilimleri Dergisi Part C: Tasarım ve Teknoloji - Year 2013, Vol 1, Issue 4
Abstract
Earthquake codes have been periodically revised and updated depending on the technical literature improvements. This revises and update in earthquake codes has been generally performed on the design methods. In this paper, the design methods which recommended Turkish Earthquake Code and Eurocode-8 related to retaining walls are considered for comparison. The main purpose of this study is to investigate differences in the aforementioned codes in the design according to earthquake of retaining walls. These investigate done with relation in the as mentioned earthquake codes used in the design of retaining walls. The important differences of design methods in the mentioned earthquake codes by discuss of obtained findings are briefly given in tables and figures and thus some conclusions and recommendations are brought. The results obtained from this findings revealed that, should be considered of soil parameters in the response (design) spectrums for the safer designs according to earthquake of retaining walls according to Turkish Earthquake Code.
