Abstract: By using PLAXIS 8.6 a model had been developed to analyse the behaviour of Geo-synthetic reinforced soil retaining wall constructed with a segmental concrete blocks. The models are used for observing various parameters such as displacement of wall, stress generated along face of wall with respect to height of wall and base conditions. The study describes PLAXIS 8.6 programme utilization in prediction of weak spots or point of failures in a Reinforced wall and helps in avoiding such conditions and also makes the weak soil utilization in construction of such walls with some limitations.
