Abstract

 In this study the stability of the flexible walls and the type of reinforced soil walls are evaluated to examine the stability and design the retaining walls with reliability method which gives more realistic results than other design methods. In this paper, using related softwares the effect of various parameters such as internal friction angle, soil specific gravity, reinforcement resistance, friction angle between the soil and the retaining wall, load, assuming uncertainty in the parameters and also the investigation the correlation of parameters will be investigated on the stability of reinforces soil walls after analyzing and determining the effective parameters among these parameters, we will analysis the sensitivity of these parameters to see which of these parameters has more influence on the stability of reinforces soil walls. Two types of stability are considered in reinforces soil walls which include external stability and internal stability.
