“…Various research methods have been applied in the study of reinforced-soil walls and slopes in recent years, including studies of full-scale structures (Collin, 2001;Kazimierowicz-Frankowska, 2005;Lee and Wu, 2004;Yoo, 2004;Yoo and Jung, 2004;Won and Kim, 2007), reduced-scale models (Latha and Krishna, 2008;ElEmam and Bathurst, 2007;Nova-Roessig and Sitar, 1999;Chen et al, 2007) and numerical analysis (Al-Hattamleh and Muhunthan, 2006;Rowe and Skinner, 2001;Skinner and Rowe, 2005;Hatami and Bathurst, 2000;. Additionally, analytical models such as the homogenized analytical concept (Chen et al, 2000), limit analysis (Porbaha et al, 2000), limit equilibrium (Baker and Klein, 2004a,b;Nouri et al, 2006Nouri et al, , 2008Shekarian et al, 2008;Reddy et al, 2008) and the characteristics method (Jahanandish and Keshavarz, 2005) have been developed.…”

“…The behavior of reinforced earth structures has been comprehensively studied through field observations and full-scale physical model, laboratory model testing, and numerical simulation (Frankowska [1]; Bergado and Teerawattanasuk [2]; Hatami and Bathurst [3,4]; Won and Kim [5]). 2D numerical analysis by considering the plane strain condition for reinforced earth structures was done by Bergado et al [6]; Karpurapu and Bathurst [7]; Chai et al [8]; Rowe and Ho [9]).…”

-In this paper the behavior of reinforced earth walls with rigid and flexible faces under strip footing load was studied by numerical analysis. In one numerical model the strip footing load was free to have horizontal and vertical movements and in another the horizontal movement of the strip footing load was restricted. By considering these two different models, the results of 2D and 3D numerical analysis (Plaxis) were compared with the full scale test results about the horizontal earth pressures, lateral wall deflections and consequently maximum tensile force on reinforcement layers. For modeling the compaction loads in each layer two equal distributed loads were considered in the top and bottom of each soil layer and also the influence of sidewall friction was studied in a 3D numerical analysis. Results showed that there is good agreement between 3D numerical analysis and full scale test results by considering the horizontal restriction for the strip footing load.

“…However, experimental evidence is needed to verify the modified lateral pressure. Studies on the settlement-tolerating behavior of a wall placed on deformable foundations have focused on a relatively new soil retaining system, named the reinforced soil retaining wall (e.g., Skinner and Rowe, 2003;Ling and Leshchinsky, 2003;Yoo and Song, 2006;Won and Kim, 2007). However, the behavior of the majority of currently in-service soil retaining structures, such as the conventional cantilever-type soil retaining wall, their behavior against foundation settlements is still poorly understood.…”
