| Abstract | A fully instrumented test wall/embankment reinforced with hexagonal wire was
constructed on soft Bangkok clay foundation in Thailand. The reinforced
wall/embankment consists of l 0 degree inclined gab ion facing with hexagonal wire mesh
reinforcements on one side and sloping unreinforced sandfill in the opposite side with a
total height of 6.0 meters. Strain gages were affixed to the wire mesh to monitor the
tension stresses. High strength wires were also used to measure the displacement in the
hexagonal wire reinforcement. The lateral earth pressure coefficient, K, measured during
the wall construction varies from a value corresponding to the active condition, Ka, at the
base of the wall, to a value nearly at at-rest condition, K0 , at the top of the wall with KII |
