Numerical Analysis of the Impact of Reinforcement Stiffness on the Evolution of Maximum Tensile Load at Incipient Failure in MSE Walls

Abstract

AbstractReinforcement stiffness (J) plays an important role in the performance of mechanically stabilized earth (MSE) walls. However, the impact of J on the maximum tensile load (Tmax) of reinforcements at incipient failure and its implications for design ...
