Research overview
A 1:4 scale model and FLAC3D analysis examine geogrid-wrapped geotextile-bag retaining walls filled with cement-modified soil. Tested ultimate bearing capacity ranged from 132.09 to 207.47 kPa and geogrid wrapping reduced facing deformation, but the selected slopes, fixed 1 m reinforcement, scale effects and simplified rainfall model limit field transfer; the authors recommend additional slope stabilisation in rainfall-prone use.
