Behavior of Reinforced Soil Retaining Wall With Limited Fill Zone Paramete

Several experiments are carried out to understand the deformation behavior of reinforced soil retaining wall with limited fill zones under vertical surcharge strip loading. Test set-up along with all the instrumentations is developed to carry out the experiments. Panel displacements and strain distribution along geogrid layers are observed. Effectiveness of the reinforced soil wall is also evaluated using a geogrid material. Finite element analysis is carried out using commercial software PLAXIS version 8 for the above problem without and with anchoring of reinforced soil retaining wall in the limited fill zone. The results are compared and reported in this present paper. (A)
