ABSTRACT

In all cases, the soil behind the wall facing is said to be mechanically stabilized earth (MSE) and the wall system is generally called an MSE wall.

The three components of a MSE wall are the facing unit, the backfill and the reinforcing material. Figure 19.11 (b) shows a side view of a wall with metal strip reinforcement and Fig. 19.11(c) the front face of a wall under construction (Bowles, 1996).
