.... This paper describes the work carried out in an experimental study on the behaviour of geotextile-reinforced, brick-faced soil retaining walls by means of one-fifth (1/5) scale models under normal gravity (1g) and compares the model results with data from a previous research programme on prototype-scale...

...Y. Tsukamoto; K. Ishihara; T. Higuchi; H. Aoki Large-scale model retaining wall tests were carried out using reinforced and unreinforced granular backfill and geogrid layers that were not attached to the wall facing. The objective of this study was to observe the lateral earth pressures...
