The paper describes the novel use of recycled construction and demolition waste (RCDW) material as the backfill material in an otherwise conventional 3.6-m high wrapped-face …
The choice of structure element to simulate soil reinforcement and soil–structure interaction details for numerical modelling of mechanically stabilized earth (MSE) walls can have a …

A high-density polyethylene (HDPE) geogrid soil-reinforced dry-cast concrete block retaining wall 6.3-m high was designed using the K-stiffness method as part of a highway …
This study analyses two full-scale model tests on mechanically stabilized earth (MSE) walls. One test was conducted with a rigid and one with a flexible wall face. Other parameters were …

The paper presents the numerical modelling details using the finite difference method (FDM) to simulate the performance of a well-instrumented geogrid-reinforced incremental concrete …
The paper reports the details of numerical models used to predict the performance of two 3.6 m-high well-instrumented wrapped-face walls. The walls were nominally identical except …
The paper describes the results and lessons learned using a FEM model to simulate quantitative performance features of the Minnow Creek steel-strip reinforced soil wall …
A mechanically stabilized earth wall with steel strip soil reinforcement was built and instrumented by the Public Works Research Institute of Japan. Measured reinforcement …
