In this paper, an algorithm for calculation of active lateral pressure on retaining walls at seismic condition is presented. In this algorithm, that its formulation is based on lower bound of limit analysis method, by considering a stress discontinuity and finding the acceptable stress fields on its two sides, active force is calculated. Soil cohesion and internal fraction angle, also the cohesion and friction between the soil and wall are considered. Results are compared with other researchers and the algorithm validation is confirmed.
