... to the geocell induced lateral confinement for the infilled soil. With the weld distance increasing, the deformation of the geocell increased and the membrane effect was further mobilized, which contributed to the dynamic stress attenuation. Based on the field test and numerical results, a design method...

... instrumented, 6.4 m-high wall to examine the accuracy of current design methods at that time and to provide refinements to design methods. The purpose of the full-scale, heavily-instrumented structure in the current study was to determine the overall behavior pattern of the wall by means of accurate...
