AB  - Given the complexities of reinforced soil materials’ constitutive relationships, this paper compares reinforced soil composite materials to a sliding structure between steel bars and soil and proposes a reinforced soil constitutive model that takes this sliding into account. A finite element dynamic time history calculation software for composite response analysis was created using the Fortran programming language, and time history analysis was performed on reinforced soil retaining walls and gravity retaining walls. The vibration time histories of reinforced soil retaining walls and gravity retaining walls were computed, and the dynamic reactions of the two types of retaining walls to vibration were compared and studied. The dynamic performance of reinforced earth retaining walls was evaluated.
