The current study aims to provide an insight into the dynamic response of reinforced soil structures and the potential of the geosynthetics to prevent the development of slope instability taking advantage of their reinforcing effect. For this purpose, a one- dimensional (SDOF) model, based on Newmark’s sliding block model as well as a two-dimensional (plane-strain) dynamic finite-element analyses are conducted in order to investigate the impact of the most significant parameters involved, such as the flexibility of the sliding system, the mechanical properties of the soil and of the geosynthetics material, the frequency content of the excitation and the interface shear strength.http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/The Eighth International Conference on Engineering Computational Technology I.
