Abstract

A new construction method to make a reinforced soil structure very stiff and elastic is described. After a large vertical preload is applied, a large prestress is maintained using metallic tie rods which penetrate the reinforced soil vertically. Results from full-scale model tests and laboratory material tests to validate this method are described.
