Anchored earth-retaining walls are in widespread use, and often fail            during earthquakes, resulting in serious infrastructure disfunction and         major long-term economic impact.  However, studies of the limit                 (failure) behavior of tied-back walls on which to base a seismic design         have not been made and this is the objective of this study.                                                                                                     Specifically, the aim is to verify experimentally on a shaking table            whether a sliding-block model is valid for predicting the limit behavior        of tied-back retaining walls under earthquake loading.                                                                                                          The principal investigators have the expertise and institutional                facilities available to complete the research proposed, which is                expected to advance significantly the seismic design of retaining walls.
