Abstract:The test wall was constructed to evaluate the behavior of MSE walls constructed with silty-clay soils through comparison between predicted and field measurements. The primary objectives of the construction of the LTRC reinforced test wall were to monitor the performance of the reinforced-soil wall and to evaluate the effect of reinforcement type, strength, geometry, and vertical spacing on the distribution of the stresses along the height of the wall. Other secondary objectives addressed in the design, construction, and instrumentation of the test wall included investigating the effect of vertical settlement on wall deformation and monitoring the performance of steep slopes reinforced with woven and non-woven geotextiles.
