The geosynthetic strip reinforcement have been developed to apply reinforced earth wall with concrete block facing. This paper describes the pullout behavior of geosynthetic strip. The pullout tests are conducted to evaluate the strain distribution of geosynthetic strip reinforcement. The evaluation results were confirmed that strain and pullout force distribution of the geosynthetic strip are concentrated in the front part of reinforcement. It appeared clearly in higher normal stress condition, because the bond between soil and reinforcement according to normal stress affect the strain and pullout force distribution.
