Abstract

various geosynthetics reinforcements used to stability of soil slopes and geocells due to the three-dimensional nature of cells proposed by many researchers. Most current researches of reinforced soil analyze are two dimensions, which is inefficient for modeling the 3D geocell element. In this paper, the static and dynamic response of reinforced soil studied by three-dimensional modeling. For this purpose, Plaxis-3D finite element software has been used to modeling with different geometric characteristics. The results of this study show that the geometry of the wall including the height and angle of the embankment as well as the arrangement of geocell cells at different level (height) and the length of the penetration affect the lateral displacement and the embankment stability coefficient.
