Assessment of seismic deformations of geosynthetic reinforced soil (GRS) walls in literature has dealt with unsolved challenges, encompassing time-consuming analyses, lack of probabilistic-based analyses, ignored inherent uncertainties of seismic loadings and limited investigated scenarios of these structures, especially for tall walls. Hence, a novel multiple analysis method has been proposed, founded on over 257,400 machine learning simulations (trained with 1582 finite element method analyses) and numerous performance-based fragility curves, to promptly evaluate the seismic vulnerability. The conducted probabilistic parametric study revealed that simultaneously considering several intensity measures for fragility curves is inevitable, preventing engineering judgement bias (up to 52% discrepancies in damage possibilities). Up to 75% contrasts between failure possibilities of 8 and 20 m walls, especially under earthquakes with common intensities (e.g. PGA <= 0.3g), raised serious concerns in the application of height-independent designing methods of GRS walls (e.g. AASHTO Simplified Method). Decreases in deformation possibilities were nearly the same due to increasing reinforcement stiffness (J) (1000 to 2000 kN/m) and reinforcement length to wall height ratio (L/H) (0.8 to 1.5); a decisive superiority of J variations over increasing L/H, as a remedial plan. The proposed methodology privileges engineers to swiftly assess the seismic deformations of multiple GRS walls at the design stage.
