Abstract
This paper presents the site observation and results of full-scale investigations
of a section of an earth retaining wall constructed at Bangsar, Kuala Lumpur.
The studies involved instrumenting 24 reinforcing strips with 98 strain gauges
and installation of an inclinometer casing. Two pull out tests were also
performed to determine the apparent friction coefficient. The performance of
the reinforced earth wall was monitored and analysed. Field observations on
maximum tensile forces in reinforcing strips at the end of construction were in
reasonably good agreement with theoretical values. No appreciable horizontal
movement was detected during the first three and a half months after construction.
