The engineering example is located in Yun Nanyi station of Guangtong to Dali Railway, where is the seismic area with high intensity of 8 degrees. The structure is wrap-styled reinforced earth retaining wall. In order to analyze the anti-seismic behaviors; the field test of wrap-styled reinforced earth retaining wall was carried out. This paper also takes out the shaking table test and numerical simulation to analyze the acceleration amplification, dynamic earth pressure, geogrid strain and potential fracture plane for the wrap-styled and normal reinforced earth retaining wall under different earthquake acceleration. It shows that the seismic wave is weakened along the wall upwards due to the effect of wrapping so the wrap-styled reinforced earth retaining wall has better earthquake resistance. Also the potential fracture plane will move backwards with the increase of the peak acceleration.
