In this paper, the reinforced soil was concerned as an
equivalent homogenizing medium. The constitutive model was
consisted of two major mechanisms including the composite
concept and anisotropic elastic mechanic. Three types of
homogenizing model of reinforced soil, axisymmetric model,
plane strain model, and orthotropic model, were derived for the
uses of reinforced soil in different conditions. In order to
perform the nonlinear or the dynamic analysis, the hyperbolic
model and Masing law were also introd
The static and dynamic analyses were performed. From the static
analysis shown, the behavior of reinforced soil was high
correlatively to "reinforcing ratio." If the reinforced ratio
of MSB wall large than 1.5 then reinforced earth performs as a
rigid wall, otherwise, the wall performs as flexible wall. In
addition, the dynamic behaviors of MSB wall were also studied.
The influence factors such as reinforced ratio, soil stiffness,
loading frequency, and wall base condition were discussed. As
the result show
