The use of geosynthetic extensible inclusions in reinforced soil structures like retaining walls is now common. This paper presents comparative results between the “displacement Method” (program CARTAG ) systematically used in France, its evolution independently produced in Australia (program MDISMET) and a _F1mte Difference Method (program FLAC). We focus on the design and on the modelisation of the progressive construction, step
by step, of such earth structure.
