Abstract:

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 attributes about MSE wall, the team selected 40 for final implementation. The current database includes information on about 60 MSE walls, with plans to add more in the future. It is recommended that the database information should be added to the current ITD-GIS system, for use by ITD personnel. Additionally, the researchers reviewed the current DOT state-of-practice regarding inspections which may be used to assess the integrity of the MSE walls. Three different inspection protocols were evaluated and then applied to some of the inventoried MSE walls. A modified version of the Ohio-DOT procedure is recommended for further evaluation by ITD engineers. As no past MSE wall information was available for this study, recommendations for assessment were not possible. However, it is strongly recommended that all MSE walls should be inspected to create a baseline database which will allow assessments to be made with follow-on inspections in the future.
