The paper describes a numerical model that was developed to simulate the response of
three instrumented, full-scale, geosynthetic-reinforced soil walls under working stress …

The construction and surcharge loading response of four full-scale reinforced-soil segmental
retaining walls is simulated using the program FLAC. The numerical model implementation …

The focus of the paper is on the influence of reinforcement design parameters (ie stiffness,
length and vertical spacing) on the simulated earthquake response of reinforced soil …

A numerical finite-difference method (FLAC) model was used to investigate the influence of
constitutive soil model on predicted response of two full-scale reinforced soil walls during …

Realistic constitutive ground models are critical in the evaluation of soil‐structure interaction
problems and the assessment of key design parameters in the seismic analysis of …

Proper estimation of soil reinforcement loads and strains is key to accurate internal stability
design of reinforced soil structures. Current design methodologies use limit equilibrium …

The K-stiffness Method is an empirically-developed working stress method used to compute
reinforcement loads for the internal stability design of geosynthetic-reinforced soil walls …

The paper provides a synthesis of work by the writers that has the objective of developing a
new working stress method for the calculation of reinforcement loads in geosynthetic …

Current limit equilibrium-based design methods for the internal stability design of
geosynthetic reinforced soil walls in North America are based on the American Association …

The use of geotextiles as reinforcement in soil-retaining walls may offer benefits over the use
of other types of reinforcement, such as metallic strips or geogrids. These include ease of …
