Abstract
Reinforced earth walls are widely recognized for their adaptability, cost efficiency, and ease of construction. While geosynthetic reinforced earth walls are typically recommended to use cohesionless soil, cohesive-frictional soil has commonly employed worldwide for economic feasibility. The study assessed numerous factors, including the internal friction angle, Kh, soil cohesion, and surcharge influence on backfill. It was discovered that the stability of the reinforced soil wall is affected by the horizontal seismic coefficient, and the tension force generated in the reinforcement to uphold the wall’s stability increases with a rise in horizontal seismic coefficients and surcharge, while it decreases as the cohesion of the soil increases.
