Abstract
A series of dynamic centrifuge model tests was carried out so as to investigate into both static and dynamic behaviors of segmental geosynthetic reinforced soil retaining walls (GRS walls). Based on the investigations on the seismic response of the GRS walls (e.g. inertia force, dynamic earth pressure, displacement), it was found that the mechanisms of the deformations and the response of the GRS walls can be explained by considering the combined deformation mechanism, which are backfill shear deformation and relative displacement between the segments.
