Abstract:

The behavior of retaining walls in geosynthetic reinforced soil is complex and requires studies and research to understand the mechanisms of rupture, the behavior of the reinforcements in the soil and the behavior of the main elements of the system: reinforcement-wall-soil. Several researches have been done on the use of geosynthetics as backfill massive reinforcement material (experimental studies, numerical analysis, reduced models …). This parametric study was conducted to investigate the influence of modular blocks type on the behavior of reinforced soil segmental walls. A 3.6 m high wall is composed of modular blocks of earth sand reinforced with four geogrid layers was modeled. The properties of materials, the wall geometry, and the boundary conditions will be explained later. The finite difference computer program FLAC3D was used in this study. The results of this numerical study allowed deducing the importance of this parameter. The type of modular blocks has significant effect to decrease the values of lateral displacements of the wall and decreased tensile stress values in the layers of geogrid.
