Abstract

The numerical analysis is carried out to reinforced earth retaining wall model tests by using RBSM model proposed by KAWAI. The result obtained from this method shows the good approximation comparing with test results. And the followings become more clear;1) The lateral pressure at the retaining wall decreases by reinforcing membrane.2) The points of maximum axial strain of reinforcing membrane are located near the edge of plastic zone in the soil embankment.
