ABSTRACT
Geo wall is one kind of the common structure in the field of civil engineering, which is also named as reinforced retaining wall, and it is a particular one which is often applied in highway, railway projects and so on. In the United States, the geo wall competition is quite an important part of the ASCE student conference competition. In this competition, the structure of geo wall is simplified as a model consisting of post-board paper face, Kraft paper reinforcements and sand in a box. By participating in such game, students could learn more about geo wall structure and gain their own thoughts towards the calculation assumptions and methods which would even be applied into the real construction cases. In this paper, the author would combine the competition experience to expatiate the design assumption, method and experience and make a further analysis combined with soil mechanics and real engineering projects.
