TL;DR: In this paper, a cast-in-situ concrete-rigid facing geogrid reinforced soil retaining wall in the Gan (Zhou)-Long (Yan) railway main line of China was monitored during construction.

TL;DR: In this paper, a 6.0m reinforced soil retaining wall was monitored for two years during and post construction, and the results showed that the lime-treated soil carried the majority of the gravity load but the geogrid reinforcements also contributed to the integrity of the embankment.

TL;DR: In this paper, a 17m high two-tiered reinforced soil wall backfilled with soil-rock mixture was instrumented for its performance under gravity load after construction, and the instrumentation continued for 15 months.

TL;DR: In this paper, a validated Finite Element procedure was used to investigate the similarities and differences of seismic performances between single and multi-tiered reinforced soil walls and revealed a few unique dynamic properties of this type of earth structures.

TL;DR: In this paper, the earth pressure and deformation characteristics of a geogrid reinforced soil retaining wall were monitored during and for a period of 1.5 years after construction, and both vertical and lateral soil stresses were recorded with vibratingwire earth pressure cells, and the reinforcement deformations were measured using flexible displacement sensors.
