Progressive development of the reinforcement force in a geosynthetic-reinforced model soil retaining wall subjected to irregular ground accelerations was investigated in a pseudo-static-based analytical model. The progressive development of the reinforcement force was expressed as a function of maximum input ground accelerations in the proposed analytical model, which also incorporated a multi-wedge failure mechanism and Newmark's sliding-block theory. This analytical model eliminated a disadvantage inherent in the conventional pseudo-static approach, namely a possible overestimation of the seismic stability of the wall due to the assumption of full mobilization of the reinforcement force regardless of the intensity of ground excitation. It was also found that the value of the critical seismic coefficient (khc) calculated using a peak internal friction angle (ϕp) and a fully mobilized reinforcement pull-out force can be used to simulate the ultimate state of the model wall when subjected to irregular grou...
