Abstract

Based on the actual project, the influence of geogrid on the stability of the retaining wall of the single-layer masonry reinforced retaining wall is studied through field test and finite element software ABAQUS numerical simulation. The influence of geogrid on the stability of the retaining wall was determined by analyzing the changes in the pressure of the backfill, the displacement of the retaining wall and the strain of the geogrid, and changing the length and spacing of the geogrid through the controlled variable method. The results show that the geogrid can limit the horizontal displacement of the soil, balance the earth pressure, and improve the overall stability of the retaining wall. By increasing the length of the geogrid and reducing the distance of the geogrid, the design of the retaining wall is optimized, which has good economic and time benefits.
