LRFD Calibration for Internal Limit States of Steel Grid MSE Walls

Abstract

AbstractThe paper reports the methodology and results of load and resistance factor design (LRFD) calibration for tensile strength and pullout limit states for mechanically stabilized earth (MSE) walls constructed with steel grid reinforcement. Three ...Practical ApplicationsMechanically stabilized earth walls are a proven technology to perform the soil retaining wall function and can be constructed for much less cost than competing concrete wall solutions. The signature feature of these wall structures ...
