In waterfront geotechnical engineering,seismic and drainage conditions must be considered in the design of retaining structures.This paper proposes a general analytical method to evaluate the seismic active earth pressure on a retaining wall with backfill subjected to partial steady seepage flow under seismic conditions.The method comprises the following steps:i) determination of the total head,ii) upper bound solution of seismic active earth thrust,and iii)deduction for the earth pressure distribution.The determination of total head h(x,z) relies on the Fourier series expansions,and the expressions of the seismic active earth thrust and pressure are derived by using the upper bound theorem.Parametric studies reveal that insufficient drainage and earthquakes are crucial factors that cause unfavorable earth pressure.The numerical results confirm the validity of the total head distribution.Comparisons indicate that the proposed method is consistent with other relevant existing methods in terms of predicting seismic active earth pressure.The method can be applied to the seismic design of waterfront retaining walls.

采用失重法、电化学法及表面分析测试研究了农林废弃物核桃青皮提取物(WGHE)与阴离子表面活性剂十二烷基磺酸钠(SLS)对冷轧钢在2.0 mol/L H3PO4介质中的缓蚀协同效应,并对WGHE中的缓蚀有效成分进行了探究.结果 表明:单独的WGHE、SLS具有中等程度的缓蚀性能,50℃时100 mg/L的缓蚀率仅为50％左右;WGHE/SLS复配后缓蚀率不断上升,最高缓蚀率可达95.3％,两者之间存在显著的缓蚀协同效应,缓蚀协同效应系数随温度的升高而增大.WGHE/SLS复配缓蚀剂更能同时有效抑制阴极和阳极
