Abstract

 

This paper describes model studies conducted on geotextile wrap-faced reinforced soil walls mounted on a shake table. Untreated and lime treated clay was used as backfill soils. The base motion parameters, surcharge pressure and number of reinforcing layers are varied in different model tests. It is inferred from these tests result that the response of the wrap-faced soil-retaining wall is extensively affected by the base acceleration levels, number of reinforcement and magnitude of surcharge pressure on the crest. The effects of these different parameters on acceleration response at different elevations of the retaining wall, settlement at crest and face deformations are presented in this paper. Numerical modeling has been done by computer program PLAXIS.
