The life cycle analysis method is proposed for geogrid reinforced soil wall. The proposed method evaluates life cycle cost as total cost of initial cost, maintenance cost and repairing risk. For the repairing risk, reliability analysis method which is considerable ductility of geogrid reinforced soil wall is used. Base on results of life cycle analysis, it is shown that geogrid reinforced soil wall has a strong advantage against L-shaped RC wall or no-reinforced embankment. Content of this paper is from achievement produced by Technical Committee: Stage 4 established in IGS Japan chapter (2007-2009).
