Seismic stability of gravity retaining walls: reliability assessment and web application


This paper introduces a reliability-based seismic stability analysis of gravity retaining walls using a classical model and Monte Carlo simulation method. It empowers engineers to make informed design decisions based on acceptable probabilities of failure, thereby enhancing the reliability of their projects. The resulting web-based application provides an interactive platform for engineers and researchers to input seismic and soil parameters and perform the geotechnical design under seismic loads.
