Abstract:Ramps leading, for example, to overpasses or bridges are usually constructed using
mechanically stabilized earth (MSE) walls, earthworks retained by concrete walls. Because
MSE walls are reinforced with steel embedded in the fill, their fill is carefully chosen for its
electrical and chemical properties, to minimize corrosion. Voids that form in MSE walls due to
settling are repaired with controlled low-strength
material (CLSM), mostly made of cement, which
is highly alkaline and can affect the pH of the
fill, leading to more corrosion and accelerated
deterioration of MSE wall reinforcement.
