Abstract
The retaining reinforced soil wall of Rock-fall protection has been developed for a few years. It need some spaces to construct by it's structure and also there are often few spaces to construct the wall where need to such a protection structure. Therefore the pocket type reinforced soil wall of Rock-fall protection was developed. It can be constructed in narrow space at a roadway side and it can catch a rock by it's top. This paper describes the experimental research of the reinforced soil wall for rock-fall protection. The experiment was performed two models of prototypes, the miniature size model (wall height 1.5m) and actual size model (wall height 6.0m). The experiment of miniature size model was confirmed the effect of geo-grid. And the experiment of actual size model was confirmed behavior the wall when at the moment of collision the rock and it's safety against a huge scale rock fall
