...C.-C. Huang A series of shaking table tests on geosynthetic-reinforced walls with a height of H = 0.6 m is performed to investigate the seismic performance of prototype walls with H = 6 m. Ground-wall resonance occurs at small values of horizontal peak ground acceleration (HPGA...

... models of a geogrid-reinforced wall. Long-term model tests were carried out using different plate loading rates in order to investigate the time-dependent response of the reinforced walls. The paper presents details of the physical model, testing procedure and principal test results. An analytical...
