This study has been undertaken stability analysis of Reinforced Soil (RS) Wall by both the limit equilibrium method (LEM) and Finite element method (FEM) methods have been studied. The design of RS Wall is based on its stability against Internal, external and Global analysis. Three RS Wall heights of 6.4m, 7.2m and 8.0m which are normally the heights of RS Wall have been considered for design, however in this paper only the height of 6.4m has been highlighted. Based on the requirement of bearing pressure and available bearing capacity of existing ground, the requirement of Ground Improvement also evaluated. An economic mode of Ground Improvement such as with Prefabricated Vertical Drain, Woven Geotextile and Geocell have been considered. There is not enough relevant analysis of RS Wall through numerical method available in the literatures so far available. An attempt has been made to find out comparison between analysis of RS Wall through LEM and FEM methods.
