Using backfill soils with cohesive fine contents to build geosynthetic-reinforced soil (GRS) retaining walls for permanent purposes has attracted considerable attention in recent years.Such back fills are considered to be marginal since they contain cohesive fines that have a plasticity index (PI)>6 and mayor may not exceed 15%.If justified, this practice can increase the cost-effectiveness of GRS walls. However, unlike clean granular soils, soils with cohesive fine contents generally exhibit distinctive creep response under constant loading, and GRS walls with such back fills have time-dependent responses that are very different from those using clean granular back fills. In this video Simulation geosynthetic-reinforced soil retaining wall besides heap soil in Abaqus has been done. To simulate geosynthetic part Beam element has been used. You can see some figures of this simulation at below figures
