Model test of reinforced earthfill with anchor on steep slope

Abstract

The constructions on steep slope are limited by its locations or structures by topographic conditions. Conventionally, it becomes large construction because it requires strong basement. Then, it is requested to invent new construction method to make it easy construction on steep slopes. The reinforced earthfill is effective method compared with conventional method with rigid structure. However, stability of boundary between steep slope and earthfill, distribution of force acts on reinforcement and difference by rigidity of facing are not clear. Model tests, reinforced earthfill with anchor on steep slope, were conducted. As a result of tests, the change of earthfill stability had confirmed by position of anchor, the rigidly of reinforcement or rigidly of facing.
