摘要: The objective of the study was to validate the performance of blocked-faced Geo-synthetic Reinforced Soil (GRS) wall and to validate the Colorado Department of Transportation’s (CDOT) decision to waive the positive block connection for closely-spaced reinforcement, defined in report FHWA-HRT-11-026. Contrary to conventional wisdom, the GRS wall measurements of this study demonstrated that facing pressure decreases as load increases. This counter-intuitive fact is due to the decrease of compaction-induced stress (CIS) with increased load. Therefore, if a GRS wall survives compaction, it survives indefinitely.
