The dynamic analysis employs the method developed by Conte, Pugliese and Troncone (2022).
As soon as the calculation ends, the following sketch results are first shown in "Section".

As the analysis is dynamic, the obtained results are interactive. Specifically, it is possible to view what happens at any time of the simulation just by hovering over the desired time in the acceleration time-history shown at the bottom of the screen. For any considered time, this output shows:
•the horizontal displacement at the top of the wall
•the distance of the center of rotation from the wall base
•the depth "X" measured from the excavation level. This value indicates the portion of the soil where the passive resistance is fully mobilized
•net pressures acting on the wall
Switching on "Time-history results", the evolution with time of the calculated results is shown. Specifically, the following outcomes are provided by DReW Seismic:
•displacement of the top of the wall
•comparison between the acceleration time-history (given as input) and the calculated corresponding critical value of acceleration
•angular acceleration of the wall
•angular velocity of the wall
•rotation of the wall
•net pressure at the wall base and comparison with the corresponding limit value
•depth X, along which the passive resistance is fully mobilized
•distance of the center of rotation from the wall base
In addition, all the obtained results can be exported in a Excel file, by using the button "Report".
