Abstract
The authors carried out a large scale of test embankment where a vertical retaining wall of concrete blocks was used and the backfill was reinforced with geogrid. The height of retaining wall is 5m. This paper reports the results of monitoring the lateral displacements of the retaining wall, strains produced on the geogrid, and so on.Without any trouble, 40 days have passed since the embankment was completed. At the present stage, the lateral displacement of retaining wall measured is about 10cm (including the displacement during construction) at the very outside and the strain on geogrid is about 1%. These results show that our construction method proposed can be successfully applied to actual structures.
