In this study, full-scale experiments on multi-anchored reinforced soil walls were conducted with the aim of improving various problems related to quality control during construction and maintenance after completion, as well as enhancing the maintainability of reinforced soil walls. As a result, it was confirmed that measuring the resistance of the reinforcement material during construction allows for the rapid detection of issues such as the presence of unsuitable soil or insufficient compaction. Furthermore, it has been revealed that connecting the reinforcement materials on the front of the wall panels allows for the comparison between the pre-pullout tensile force applied to the reinforcement material and the maximum resistance force during pullout when diagnosing the reinforced soil wall. It has been founded that enabling the connection of reinforcement materials on the front of wall panels is highly effective in improving the maintainability of reinforced soil walls because it also allows for the understanding of the tensile forces acting on existing reinforcement materials and their changes during repairs.
