.... Four technologies were used to monitor the full-scale tests: ultrasonic sensor (US), perspective laser tracking (PLT), light detection and ranging (LIDAR) and draw wire sensor (DWS). The geometric parameters of a quarter of the cross-section and the strains in the geotextile were obtained during...

...Z. Lai; E. Jiang; K. Fan; S. H. Liu; Y. Wang In this study, full-scale tests were conducted on soilbag-constructed retaining walls (SBWs) with panels to analyse the effects of the fixed forms of the panels on the deformation and lateral earth pressures of the wall. The results show that a panel...
