Abstract

This paper investigated the relative seismic response of reinforced soil retaining wall overlying a soft clayey soil layer—applicable to road or railway embankment. A series of 1D shaking table tests, 0.1 to 0.5 g, were conducted on the 1 m high physical model. The scaled physical model was subjected to harmonic sinusoidal input motions at frequencies of 1 Hz, 3 Hz, 5 Hz, 10 Hz, 12 Hz, and 15 Hz. A laminar box was used to enclose the soil during the experiment. The variation of parameters such as base motion excitations; frequencies; and surcharge pressures were studied. The results of this study revealed that these parameters have a significant influence on the model wall and vary along the elevation; impacting pore water pressure as well. It also had an impact on the variation along the depth of the clayey soil layer. Maximum face deformation was observed at the top layer of the wall.
