3 MULTIANCHORED REINFORCED SOIL WALL
This information comes from Futaki et al. (2001), Aoki et al. (2000), and Futaki
et al. (2000). Part of the information given below was extracted from the Japanese
version of the papers.
Figure 6 shows the multianchored reinforced soil wall with its different
components. This wall system was developed in Japan. The appearance of the
multianchored reinforced soil wall is very similar to the conventional reinforced
soil wall, but there is a fundamental difference in the reinforcement mechanism.
Because an anchor plate is attached to the end of metallic strip, the mechanism of
reinforcement is anchorage instead of frictional.
