ABSTRACT

The seismic response of Geosynthetic Reinforced Soil Retaining Structure (GRSRS) becomes a significant issue after several damaged earthquakes lately. In this study, 3 seismic instruments are arranged to monitor the acceleration time histories of the GRSRS built in FoGuang University, Ilan, Taiwan (Figure 1). The recorded acceleration data are subsequently used for the comparison purpose with the numerical analysis of GRSRS using FEM.
