However, very few studies are available on the shaking table model tests on retaining walls with geocells [12,13,14]. Limited research is available on the centrifuge modelling of geocell walls . Since tests on shaking table are conducted under 1-g conditions, unlike centrifuge model tests, they suffer from scaling effects.
