Experimental study of the role of geotextile layer spacing in reinforced retaining wall

Protection of water, soil and environment are always one of the most important pillars of human life; Therefore, it is trying to continue its life by preserving these elements. This research was carried out with the aim of investigating the protection and stability of gables and soil slopes and creating safety in order to increase their carrying capacity and maintain them. This was done by experimenting on reinforced embankments to increase the stability and strength of guard structures using environmentally friendly materials. By loading on the retaining wall embankment reinforced with geotextile, the location of the embankment failure and the reduction of its fracture line were analyzed and the results showed that the presence of geotextile layers reduced the length of the embankment fracture line by ۳۰-۳۵%. Therefore, by using suitable materials without harm to the environment, it is possible to increase the resistance and to deal with the stability of the soil and its protection for the new development in accordance with the ecosystem.
