Starting from the Mononobe-Okabe analysis, the seismic behaviour of gravity retaining walls is investigated. The importance of including wall inertia effects is demonstrated. The sensitivity of the results to changes in various parameters is explored: care must be taken in some ranges. For a moderately severe earthquake, it is shown that most walls will move, but that the movement is finite, and calculable. An approximate expression is given for the expected displacement. From this, a design approach is developed in which the designer chooses an allowable displacement, uses it to compute a design acceleration coefficient, and then computes the wall mass required.

Landslide one of the natural disasters that caused many victims. Therefore, the landslide need a construction that can withstand landslide force. This study aims to plan retaining walls to prevent landslides in the farm area in Kandangan Subdistrict, Kediri Regency. The method used is to use slide analysis which is used to plan the retaining wall. In addition the planning of soil containment walls u ses several methods as a comparison. The results of this study indicate that the planning of ordinary soil retaining walls is still not enough to overcome slides. The minimum SF value that meets the safe limit of landslide prevention is 1.541 in the combination of 1/3 H terracing and the number of gabions as many as 7 with a total height of 2- 3 m .

The optimization of the cost and CO 2 emissions in earth-retaining walls is of relevance, since these structures are often used in civil engineering. The optimization of costs is essential for the competitiveness of the construction company, and the optimization of emissions is relevant in the environmental impact of construction. To address the optimization, black hole metaheuristics were used, along with a discretization mechanism based on min–max normalization. The stability of the algorithm was evaluated with respect to the solutions obtained; the steel and concrete values obtained in both optimizations were analyzed. Additionally, the geometric variables of the structure were compared. Finally, the results obtained were compared with another algorithm that solved the problem. The results show that there is a trade-off between the use of steel and concrete. The solutions that minimize CO 2 emissions prefer the use of concrete instead of those that optimize the cost. On the other hand, when comparing the geometric variables, it is seen that most remain similar in both optimizations except for the distance between buttresses. When comparing with another algorithm, the results show a good performance in optimization using the black hole algorithm.
