Abstract
This paper presents model studies conducted on geotextile wrap faced reinforced soil walls under static conditions in a rectangular model box. Untreated and lime treated clay was used as backfill soils. Numerical modeling has been done by PLAXIS software. The surcharge pressure, angle of the slopes, and different number of reinforcement layers were varied in model tests. The influence of these various parameters at different elevations of the retaining wall, settlement at the crest, and horizontal face displacement are presented in this paper. The tests were conducted at 45° and 60° slopes. It was seen that vertical crest settlement and horizontal displacement of reinforced soil wall decrease with an increase in reinforcing layers.
