Abstract
Based on the results from 1g shaking table model tests on reinforced soil retaining walls with embedded sheetpile, analysis on the effect of the sheetpile is carried out. Chang's equation is used to extend the formerly developed procedures so as to consider the effects of flexural rigidity and embedded length of sheetpile. The amount of shear force shared by the sheetpile (i. e. effect of the sheetpile) was changed depending on the amounts of flexural rigidity and embedded length. It was found from the analysis by using this extended procedures that both sliding and tilting displacements can be effectively reduced with the increase of embedded length.
