...M. Lee; D. Basu Mechanically stabilised earth (MSE) walls have gained widespread popularity in North America because of their cost-effectiveness and reliable performance. Although the use of carbon-intensive materials for MSE walls is significantly lower compared to conventional retaining walls...

... beneficial engineering solutions (Damians et al. 2017 ; Umer et al. 2017 ; Fifer Bizjak and Lenart 2018 ; Shukla 2022). Moreover, GRS walls have proven advantageous performance compared to conventional cantilever or gravity retaining walls in terms of differential settlements and during...

... for geotechnical structures, as they are subject to significant scatter and uncertainties in their properties. In this context, this paper presents an application of Reliability-Based Design Optimization (RBDO) for the problem of geosynthetic-reinforced soil retaining walls. Design variables include the mean...

...M. Mojallal; A. Ghanbari; F. Askari ABSTRACT: Calculating the seismic displacement of reinforced retaining walls is important for optimal design of these structures. Using the limit analysis theorem, in this study an innovative approach has been proposed for calculating the coefficient of yield...

.... Koseki et al. (2006) carried out a comprehensive review of the performance of geosyn-thetic-reinforced soil walls subjected to some recent major earthquakes. They concluded that reinforced soil walls can be expected to outperform conventional soil-retaining walls when subjected to earthquake...

... bridge abutment, near Denver, USA, during different stages of construction and in-service behavior, and also the static/seismic response of a carefully instrumented reduced-scale reinforced soil-retaining wall tested on a shaking table at the Royal Military College of Canada (RMC), have been used...

... was validated by analysing four geosynthetic-reinforced modular block walls that experienced the 1999 Chi-Chi earthquake (Huang et al. 2003), two battered soil-retaining walls located on slopes (Huang and Chen 2004 ; Huang 2005) and a RRR wall that survived the 1995 Hyogoken-Nambu earthquake (Huang...

...R.J. Bathurst; K. Hatami The paper reports results from numerical experiments that were carried out to investigate the influence of reinforcement stiffness, reinforcement length, and base boundary condition on the seismic response of an idealized 6 m high geosynthetic-reinforced soil retaining wall...
