Abstract
In constructing a retaining wall at a place adjacent to the abutment wing wall of a bridge. A new method of direct-foundation type construction by means of reinforced earth has been proposed here insted of a pile-foundation-reversed T type conventioal concrete one. In that the multi-anchored vertical faced earth-wall reinforced with polymer grids is employed and also preloaded to reduce the residual settlement that results from the wall's contact with river water. A vertical faced reinforced-earth test-embankment is constructed to check and verify the applicability and effectiveness of the method. The report deals with these tests and practical behaviors of the wall.
