Abstract (EN): The role of the constrution method on the behaviour of geosynthetic reinforced walls is studied using an elasto-plastic 2D numerical model based on Finite Element Method. A propped reinforced wall and an incrementally built one are compared in terms of movements and tensile strains. The influence of props releasing sequence is also analysed.
