Abstract EN
Mononobe-Okabe (M-O) method is still employed as the first option to estimate lateral earth pressures during earthquakes by geotechnical engineers.
Considering some simple assumptions and using a closed form method, M-O solves the equations of equilibrium and suggests seismic active and passive lateral earth pressures.
Therefore, the results are true in its assumption range only, and in many other practical cases, M-O method is not applicable.
Noncontinues backfill slopes, cohesive soils, and rising water behind the wall are some well-known examples in which the M-O theory is irrelevant.
Using the fundamental framework of M-O method, this study proposes an iterative method to overcome the limits of the M-O method.
Based on trial and error process, the proposed method is able to cover many of the defects which regularly occur in civil engineering when M-O has no direct answer.
