• Abstract:
  Mechanically stabilized earth (MSE) walls often contain galvanized steel reinforcement. Because galvanized steel eventually corrodes, however, the corrosion process must be closely monitored to accurately determine where structures are in their life cycle and to improve specifications to lengthen the lifespan of future MSE walls. This report is a continuation of the K-TRAN: KSU-19-5 report, which examined the reinforcement of 12 walls for corrosion progress and evaluated backfill resistivity using field and laboratory methods.
