Abstract

Now in Nagano, the Japan Railway Construction Public Corporation is constructing the Hokuriku bullet train yard approximately about 100m wide and 2km long using Geosynthetic-Reinforced Soil Retaining Walls with rigid facing (GRS-RWs). This construction has two special features, of the retaining wall being built on a very soft ground, and clay being used as the backfill material. The results of analysis and execution of GRS-RWs are reported in this paper.
