Abstract

Data are presented of geotechnical centrifuge models of reinforced soil retaining walls in which the effects on wall behavior of differences between prototype and model, boundary effects, stress paths, instrumentation, and model repeatability are studied.

Keywords:
centrifuges, models, reinforced soils, scale effects, stress paths
