Deformation of the Geocell Flexible Reinforced Retaining Wall under Earthquake

As a new type of reinforced material, geocells are widely used in flexible retaining wall projects, and lot practical experience shows that the geocell has great effect on earthquake resistance, but theoretical research lags behind engineering practice, deformation failure mechanism under need to be further studied. In this paper, we use FLAC3D nonlinear, finite-difference method study geocell-reinforced walls earthquake, analyze advantages controlling compared with unreinforced geogrid-reinforced wall, try by changing length reinforcement spacing geocell. Research indicates horizontal displacement edge is slightly smaller than center back wall. The can effectively reduce better geogrid. Increasing reducing at top other positions.
