Abstract:

Since their appearance in the 1970s, mechanically

stabilized earth (MSE) walls have become a majority

among all types of retaining walls due to their economics

and satisfactory performance. The Texas Department of

Transportation (TxDOT) has primarily adopted the

guidelines published by the Federal Highway

Administration and the American Association of State

Highway and Transportation (AASHTO) for design of MSE

walls. However, TxDOT engineers have expressed

concerns about both design assumptions and

methodology, including soil parameter selection, to meet

the required stability limits and possible failure

modes. Validation of the assumptions and design methods

is needed now since these uncertainties may lead to

serviceability issues.
