Centrifuge model tests of reinforced earth retaining wall

Centrifuge model tests are carried out to study the work mechanism of the reinforced earth retaining wall built on soft soil and the rigid foundation with sub-block panels and a whole panel.The results show that: ①in the normal state,the lateral displacement of reinforced earth retaining wall panels is smaller,which means high security;②the deformation of the reinforced retaining wall built on soft soil is greater than that built on the hard soil,and the deformation of the reinforced retaining wall with sub-block is bigger than that of the whole panel;③the reinforced strip strain in the middle is much bigger than that in both ends whether in vertical or horizontal direction.
