Examples of rigid-plastic model application in predicting the mode of failure of reinforced-soil walls
Abstract
The paper presents comparison between experimental results taken from the tests of four different geotextile-reinforced full-scale walls constructed at the laboratory of the Federal Highway Research Institute in Germany and theoretical predictions of failure loads and slip lines’ courses, obtained on the basis of rigid-plastic model of reinforced soil proposed by A. Sawicki.
