Abstract
Several previous studies proposed the method of estimation for geosynthetics settlement above sinkhole. And, assumption of that methods have fixed vertical load for anchor area (They assumed fixed vertical load for anchor area). However, vertical load around sinkhole practically increase due to loosening pressure with different settlements. In this study we proposed a method of evaluating the value of geosynthetics settlement above sinkhole considering variation of vertical load on anchor area and compared it with experiment results. As a result, estimated value showed good coincidence with the experimental result.
