Currently, the Idaho Transportation Department (ITD) does not have an inventory of MSE walls, or procedures for their inspection and assessment. To initiate a process for compiling such information, this study collected information about MSE walls in Idaho, and assembled the material for use as a preliminary database. After considering many attribu
