FULL SCALE GEOSYNTHETIC REINFORCED RETAINING WALLS: A NUMERICAL PARAMETRIC STUDY

摘要: In order to improve the authors' understanding of behavior geosynthetic reinforced soil (GRS) retaining walls, numerical models a well-instrumented full scale GRS wall were first developed using finite difference program. A parametric study was then performed evaluate walls with different reinforcement stiffnesses. Performance two steel also simulated verify results study. The modeling matched instrumentation measurements reasonable accuracy. This paper presents and study, discusses influence stiffness on performance.
