SEISMIC BEHAVIOUR OF GEOSYNTHETIC-REINFORCED SOIL RETAINING WALLS

For the last decade, geosynthetic-reinforced soil retaining walls with a full-height rigid facing that was cast-in-place by staged construction procedures were constructed in Japan to a total length exceeding 26 km as important permanent structures mainly for railways and partly for highways. walls I this located type in of the affected geosynthetic-reinforced area of the 1995 retaining Hyogo- ken Nanbu Earthquake performed very well, showing their very high seismic stability.
