Description
Mechanically stabilized earth (MSE) is a form of soil retaining structure comprised of steel or geosynthetic soil reinforcements connected to a facing system. Reinforcements are placed in layers within the backfill, which resists the earth’s pressure due to friction between backfill and reinforcement (Kibria et al. 2014). The Georgia Southern ASCE geowall competition team will conduct multiple analyses to design a wrapped MSE retaining wall using kraft paper and sand.
