Abstract
Experimental geotextile reinforced soil walls in which a steel frame or geocell is used as facing panel were constructed and the deformation behavior associated with freezing and thawing was observed for three seasons. As a result, it was found that front displacement was larger when using high frost susceptible soil than when using no frost susceptible soil. However, little is known about the extent of the load exerted by freezing and thawing on the geogrid combined with the facing panel in the soil. For this reason, in this study, a geogrid attached with strain gauge was used to construct a reinforced soil wall in an outdoor and indoor soil vessels in order to observe the behavior of the geogrid under freezing and thawing conditions.
