Abstract
Assembled Earth Retaining wall (AER-wall is used here) using back pile (back supporting beam is used from here) has been developed at Pusan National University. Both cost and time have been significantly reduced because AER-wall can be fabricated in a shop. Also its stability has been improved with a back supporting beam reducing earth pressure. In this study, the test results were analyzed after laboratory model tests were performed. The lateral displacement of AER-wall significantly decreased with both inclined wall and back supporting beams. As a result, the stability of AER-wall and effect of back supporting beam have been analyzed and verified.
