Large-scale reinforced earth retaining wall model test has been Designed and completed. The model size is 3.0mχ0.85m χ2.0m(lengthwidthhigh) Slope angle is 70º, Fill with the use of red sandsχtone construction site preparation materials By entering a different amplitude and frequency of the sinusoidal load, to discuss the law of Dynamic characteristics of the model wall and fatigue life under the repetition load. The results showed that, the fatigue life has a linear relationship with the stress amplitude of three reinforced structures ,the logarithm of fatigue life changes with the stress amplitude sensitivity of Gabion reinforced earth retaining wall is low than Geogrid reinforced retaining wall does. The results help to reveal the instability mechanism under cyclic loading, and provide a useful reference for designing the reinforced retaining wall engineering.

In order to study dynamic deformation behavior of green reinforced gabion retaining wall, lab test was carried out and the dynamic loads of 4 frequencies and 4 amplitudes were imposed. The total cycles of dynamic load reached 2 million. Lateral and vertical deformation behaviors of green reinforced gabion retaining wall were investigated, and the main factors which influenced the dynamic deformation behavior and their significance were obtained. Meanwhile, fatigue life analysis on green reinforced gabion retaining wall was made. The results show that dynamic deformation is greatly affected by amplitude and the cycles of dynamic load, not significantly affected by frequency. The maximum lateral and vertical deformation occur in the fifth layer of green reinforced gabion wall. With the increase of train load and train speed, fatigue damage and fatigue life of green reinforced gabion retaining wall can be estimated based on accumulative fatigue damage theory.

Pressure vessels often have notches or other stress concentrations present. Considering further that pressure vessels are nearly always subjected to some cyclic loading, fatigue cracking at notches is an important problem. The objective here is to describe some fatigue life testing and analysis which was performed with notched specimens in order to determine the effects of notch overload on fatigue life of pressure vessels.
