Abstract
The rockfall protection wall using geotextile reinforced soil structure has high impact performance against the rockfall because it is flexible structure. The wall developed by us is classified into three types in considering of the serviceability limit state in proportion as rockfall energy. In the 2011 off the Pacific coast of Tohoku Earthquake, it is reported that several rockfall disasters of varying rockfall energy occur. After that, authors confirm that the wall located in the Tohoku district catches rockfall which exceeds the prescribed rockfall energy level of the wall. This paper reports the rock-fall protection wall using reinforced soil structure affected by the 2011 off the Pacific coast of Tohoku Earthquake.
