The intensity A 0 of the minimum limit acceleration able to produce the collapse of the wall is thus given by Eq.s (36) and (37). The wall certainly will not fail if the maximum horizontal acceleration PGA expected in the site is lower than A 0 , i.e. if it turns out: G D - # H ! > (38) The wall is seismically safe in the site if ! > !EFG , where !EFG is: !EFG = I H @ 3: . ! - J (39)
