Description For designing retaining walls in earthquake prone region, knowledge of seismic active
earth pressure is very important. Similar to the static case, during seismic condition also,
the mobilization of seismic active earth pressure depends on the amount and mode of wall
movement. Very few researchers have done studies on model retaining walls to estimate
the mobilized seismic active earth pressure depending on the mode and amount of wall
movement. Based on the available experimental data of earlier researchers, in this paper, a
semi-empirical method is proposed that can easily be used in practice to compute the
seismic active earth pressure for various magnitudes of wall movements for the walls
rotating about the top and bottom. The practical use of the proposed equations is shown
through a worked-out example and is compared with the conventional Mononobe-Okabe
method.
