Abstract
The rockfall protection wall using geosynthetics reinforced soil has been applied to many rockfall protecting works because it is flexible and has high impact absorption performance against the rockfall compared with the concrete retaining wall. However, the width of rockfall protection wall must be widened as the rockfall energy increases so that it is difficult to construct in the narrow width place. Consequently, authors carried out a full scale test in which the impact energy was acted on the Piled Geo-wall with high horizontal resistance. This paper presents the results of tests and impact absorption performance of Piled Geo-wall.
