Seismic Behaviour of Hybrid Reinforced Soil High Walls and Slopes
Hybrid reinforced soil structures combine geogrids and steel meshes together to build high MSE walls or slopes, considering the geogrids as "primary reinforcement" and the wire mesh units (produced with an "integrated tail" of wire mesh) as a "secondary reinforcement" and "facing units". In situ and laboratory results indicate that hybrid MSE structures afford high flexibility, strength and energy absorption capacity, making them ideal for the construction of structures with relevant heights in highly seismic areas. A case history is presented of a reinforced soil hybrid structure, over 80 m high, in Sikkim, India, which has recently withstood an earthquake with a 6.9 magnitude with no visible damage. The seismic resistance of the structures is analyzed while the design method in seismic conditions is compared with the actual acceleration withstood during the earthquake. Results indicate that hybrid reinforced soil structures afford very high factor of safety against seismic induced failure.
