Abstract:

Mechanically Stabilized Earth Walls (MSEW) and Reinforced Soil Slopes (RSS) are two modern methods of earth fill construction which are extremely cost effective and aesthetically pleasing. The basic concept behind these related methods is to combine soil, reinforcing materials made of steel or polymers and an appropriate facing to produce a composite material with improved engineering properties. Both MSEW and RSS provide substantial construction time and cost savings as compared with other conventional types of earth retaining systems. The purpose of this Demonstration Project is to optimize the implementation of mechanically stabilized earth technology in routine transportation design and construction practice.
