Abstract

A series of shaking table tests was carried out on the dynamic performance and working mechanism of a gabion reinforced soil retaining wall under seismic load. The test results show that the panel presents the deformation mode of middle and upper bulging at the contact point between the rigid box and the retaining wall The settlement of top backfill is relatively uniform, and there is basically no differential settlement, the natural frequencies at different positions and heights inside the retaining wall are basically the same, and the natural frequencies are stable between 22.61 and 23.04 Hz below 0.8 g. The damping ratio decreases with the increase in wall height, and the damping ratio at each stage after vibration is greater than that before vibration. The seismic earth pressure is nonlinearly distributed. The measured value of the lower part of the retaining wall is smaller than that calculated by the Seed–Whitman method with an increase in peak acceleration, and the measured value of the upper part of the retaining wall is larger than the theoretical calculation results. The position of the resultant action point of seismic earth pressure is greater than 0.33 times the wall height specified by the Mononobe–Okabe method.
