Abstract
In the reconstruction of a railway embankment with a total length of 600m, a geosynthetic-reinforced soil retaining wall was adopted because of limited space and cost reduction. This structure has a continuous rigid facing in order to reduce the deformation of wall, thereby increasing the overall stability.
The maximum height of this embankment is as high as 8m. In view of few well-documented case history of this kind, this paper describes the actual construction process as well as the countermeasures against troubles encountered in this process.
