Analysis of the Structural Behavior Evolution of Reinforced Soil Retaining Walls Under the Combined Effects of Rainfall and Earthquake by Xinxin Li, Xiaoguang Cai, Sihan Li, Xin Huang, Chen Zhu, Honglu Xu

“…The duration for infiltration to reach stability increases with greater rainfall. (2) An increase in rainfall intensity enhances the seismic stability of the retaining wall panel, as higher rainfall intensity results in reduced sand leakage from the panel, thereby diminishing panel deformation during vibration. (3) Increased rainfall intensity decreases the shear strength of the soil, leading to a greater load on the reinforcement. (4) The natural vibration frequencies of the three groups of retaining walls decreased by 0.21%, 0.54%, and 2.326%, respectively, indicating some internal damage within the retaining walls, although the degree of damage was not severe. …”
