Abstract:

This manual reports current practice for the design and construction of Mechanically Stabilized Earth (MSE) walls. This manual was prepared to enable engineers to perform preliminary design or design checks of vendor designs of MSE walls using any of the four currently available design methods. This includes the coherent gravity method, the simplified method, the stiffness method, and the limit equilibrium method. The scope is sufficiently broad to be of value for specification specialists and construction and contracting personnel responsible for construction inspection, development of material specifications, and contracting methods. With the aid of this text, engineers should be able to properly select, design, specify, and contract for the construction of MSE walls. The MSE wall design within this manual is based upon load and resistance factor design (LRFD) procedures. This manual is a revision and an update to the FHWA NHI-10-024 manual.
