ABSTRACT
In order to improve current aseismic design procedures of reatining walls, external and internal seismic stability of different types of retaining walls for railway embankment, wich were damaged by the Hyogoken-nambu earthquake, was evaluated. The analysis was performed in the framework of the current design procedure based on the pseudo-static limit equilibrium method while considering the effect of vertical earthquake motion. The potential failure mode was compared with the actual behaviour, and the critical horizontal seismic coefficient wich yielded a safety factor of unity was compared with the estimated peak horizontal acceleration.
