Analysis and Design of Anchored Walls and Anchor Systems for Earthquake Loads

This chapter covers the analysis and design of anchored walls and their anchor systems for earthquake loads. It gives background on how earthquakes affect walls and anchors and how design methods account for them.

It covers the design of anchored sheet pile walls for seismic conditions, including how seismic earth pressures, wall inertia, and anchor performance are considered.

It is a companion to the dynamic earth pressure chapter and is useful for waterfront and other walls in seismic regions.
