Verification of a Numerical Model for Reinforced Soil Segmental Retaining Walls
A numerical model has been developed using the program FLAC to simulate the response of geosynthetic reinforced soil retaining walls constructed with a modular concrete block (segmental) facing. The model has been verified by comparing numerical results with physical measurements taken from three full-scale (i.e. 3.6 m-high) reinforced soil walls that were constructed in a controlled in-door test facility. The walls had different reinforcement configurations, but were otherwise identical. The predicted responses for all three walls with respect to facing displacements, footing loads, foundation contact pressure and reinforcement strains were in satisfactory agreement with the measured data. The numerical model provides a validated tool that can be used to extend the database of full-scale experimental wall test results through parametric analyses that investigate the influence of wall type, geometry, component properties and other field conditions on wall performance during and at the end of construction.
