The construction and surcharge loading response of four full-scale reinforced-soil segmental
retaining walls is simulated using the program FLAC. The numerical model implementation …

The horizontal displacement of a reinforced-soil retaining wall is a common deformation
mode of seismic damage. The horizontal displacement time history and accumulative …

Numerical studies were conducted to improve the understanding of the behavior of
geosynthetic-reinforced column-supported embankments. Due to the complexity of the …

Geosynthetic-reinforced soil (GRS) walls have been increasingly used to support bridge
foundations as abutment walls. On the GRS abutment wall, large footing loads are applied …

A series of 1-g shaking table tests were conducted on 1m high reinforced-soil wall models.
The physical models were subjected to harmonic sinusoidal-like time history input motions …

There has recently been an increase in the use of geosynthetic reinforced soil structures to
support bridge abutments and approach roads in place of traditional pile supports. In this …

The effects of horizontal and vertical pseudo-static forces on reinforced soil structures are
investigated in the paper. In particular, the effects of the magnitude and amplification of the …

The paper reports numerical model details and predictions of the end-of-construction
performance for two instrumented and well-documented mechanically stabilized earth …

The effects of geocell reinforcement on the behavior of shell foundations were studied using
PLAXIS 3D finite element software. For this purpose, conical and pyramidal geometries were …

This paper presents a physical model study of the influence of compaction on the behavior
of geogrid-reinforced soil walls. Experiments were accomplished in a facility at the …
