Abstract
In recent years, geosynthetic reinforcement technology has been widely applied in numerous engineering projects. Geogrids are polymer materials formed into planar mesh structures with open grids and high tensile strength through uniaxial or biaxial oriented stretching under heating. This stretching realigns the polymer chains linearly in the direction of tension, significantly enhancing the intermolecular bonding strength and thereby improving the tensile performance of the material. This paper takes the construction of a reinforced retaining wall for an access road in a factory area as a case study. It investigates the failure mechanisms of the modular geogrid-reinforced retaining wall and proposes corresponding treatment suggestions, aiming to provide practical references for similar projects.
