Development of Piled Geo-wall (A new type reinforced soil wall)

Abstract

This study aims to achieve a new type of independent reinforced soil wall (Piled Geo-wall) that can be substitute for one made up of concrete with similar scale, and to contribute to sustainable development. In order to confirm the practicability of the novel structure, three experimental studies with static and impact loading tests and a dynamic centrifuge model test were carried out in the past years. Simple design methods of the novel structure, which can reproduce the results of the experiments, are introduced in this paper
