Abstract

The design and analysis of geosynthetic-reinforced walls, embankments and slopes are presented earlier in this book for structures under static loading conditions. This chapter focuses on the seismic aspects of these structures. It describes the properties and behaviour of cohesionless soils, geosynthetic reinforcement and facing components under dynamic and cyclic loading, and summarises the important features of current analytical and numerical methods for the seismic analysis and design of geosynthetic-reinforced soil walls and slopes. The observed performance of reinforced soil walls and slopes during earthquakes is also presented.
