- This work was funded by EU FP7 Grant (No 227887) SERIES, a program indented to promote collaborations between experts and high-end testing facilities in the field of earthquake engineering. The work combined novel theoretical solutions and experimental validation through high quality shaking table modelling. The findings can be directly used in design, offering a more rational and economic design approach for this popular earth retaining wall type, ensuring safety and reducing overdesign, by reducing epistemic uncertainly. The formulas derived from the theoretical analysis were proposed to be used in Eurocodes EN-1997 (https://eurocodes.jrc.ec.europa.eu/showpage.php?id=137) and EN-1998 (https://eurocodes.jrc.ec.europa.eu/showpage.php?id=138).
