Geosynthetic reinforced walls are widely used in public works. The aim of this paper isto study the bearing capacity of a strip rough footing on a geosynthetic reinforced soil modularblock walls, after a seismic action. The numerical modelling was carried out by using the finiteelement method implemented in the Plaxis code. The influence of the eccentric vertical load onthe bearing capacity of footing was examined considering different distances between the top ofthe wall and the edge of the footing. The results of this study confirm that the seismic loadingdoes not affect the bearing capacity when the distance d/B is greater than 10.
