Figure 6 Multianchored reinforced soil wall.
The shaking table test was conducted using the facilities available at the
Building Research Institute. The full-scale 5-m wall was constructed in a laminar
box 3.6m wide, 10m long, and 5m high. The tie bars were 3.5 m long. Fig. 7
shows the instrumentation of the wall where several different quantities were
measured: horizontal and vertical forces at the bottom of the wall panels; vertical
stress at the bottom of the backfill soil; tensile strain in the tie bars; acceleration in
the panel; reinforced soil zone; displacements of the wall panel and backfill
surface.
