Abstract (EN): The paper presents a parametric study that was carried out to analyze the influence of the restraining condition at the toe of the facing panel, the input motion, facing panel rigidity and facing panel inertial forces on the seismic response of a 6 m high geosynthetic-reinforced soil retaining wall with a continuous facing panel. The two-dimensional explicit dynamic finite difference program FLAC (Fast Lagrangian Analysis of Continua) was used. The study shows that the restraining condition at the toe of facing panel has great influence particularly on the reinforcement tensile loads. The facing panel rigidity has a large influence on the pattern of lateral displacements and on reinforcement tensile loads.
