Abstract: This paper demonstrates reliability-based analysis of tensile strength and pullout limit states for mechanically stabilized earth (MSE) walls constructed with steel-strip reinforcement. Five different reinforcement tensile ...

Abstract: Design for the tensile strength limit state of steel strip reinforcement in mechanically stabilized earth (MSE) walls must provide for loss of steel thickness due to corrosion. The paper combined key features of zinc and ...
