... = 60°. Working strains of reinforcement in the range of 1.2–3.2% satisfy the so-called extensible reinforcement condition in practice. Note that reinforcement force was not measured in the tests reported here. The pseudo-static analysis performed here is not intended to interpret the failure...

... for the soils and the reinforcement–soil interface are used as input parameters. In these methods, the reinforcement forces are the output rather than the input, in contrast to the pseudo-static analysis. The numerically based methods require detailed information on the stress–strain behavior of all...

...-reinforced modular block wall Pseudo-static analysis Seismic displacement Seismic stability The construction of geosynthetic-reinforced soil modular block (GRS-MB) retaining walls is relatively new in Taiwan. Therefore the first experience of GRS-MB retaining walls during a major earthquake...
