Pile-sheet　retaining　wall　is　widely　used　in　the　cutting　slope,　embankment　engineering　and　landslide　treatment.　The　slab　located　at　the　behind　of　stabilizing　piles,　for　example,　is　one　of　the　most　popular　structural　form　in　the　engineering　design,　leading　to　some　conservatism　in　the　design.　In　order　to　investigate　the　transfer　behavior　of　earth　pressure　and　the　regularities　of　distribution　considering　different　setting　location　of　retaining　wall　slab　in　the　Pile-sheet　retaining　wall,　three　typical　laboratory　model　tests　(slab　located　in　front　of　piles,　slab　located　behind　of　piles　and　without　slab)　were　conducted.　The　overall　deformation　and　the　fracture　surface　of　the　filling　soil　were　observed,　and　the　earth　pressure　on　the　stabilizing　pile　and　retaining　slab　were　also　monitored.　The　experimental　results　showed　that　under　the　action　of　horizontal　thrust,　the　retaining　wall　slab　backfill　of　the　three　typical　working　conditions　all　generated　an　overall　crack　across　the　loading　surface.　The　distribution　of　earth　pressure　on　piles　and　retaining　slab　were　＇spoon-shaped＇　and　＇trapezoidal　shaped＇　respectively.　Compared　to　the　case　of　slab　located　behind　of　piles,　the　earth　pressure　undertook　by　the　stabilizing　piles　was　much　larger　for　the　case　of　slab　located　front　of　piles,　and　the　earth　pressure　undertook　by　the　retaining　slab　was　smaller　instead.　Soil　arching　effects　of　the　filling　soil　was　weakened　because　of　the　existence　of　retaining　slab,　especially　for　the　case　of　retaining　slab　located　behind　of　the　piles.　However,　soil　arcing　still　had　the　formation　conditions　and　development　space　for　the　case　of　retaining　slab　located　in　front　of　the　piles.　In　comparison,　the　slab　located　in　front　of　piles　could　effectively　reduce　the　earth　pressure　acting　on　the　retaining　slab　because　of　the　development　of　soil　arching　effect,　and　reduce　the　earth　pressure　acting　on　the　retaining　slab.　Therefore,　it　was　recommended　to　use　the　structure　of　slab　located　front　of　piles　or　the　flange　of　pile.　The　research　results　can　provide　reference　for　the　reasonable　design　of　pile-sheet　retaining　wall.　©　2019,　Editorial　Department　of　Advanced　Engineering　Sciences.　All　right　reserved.
