| Summary: | Mechanically Stabilized Earth (MSE) Walls are internally stabilized fill walls that are constructed using alternating layers of compacted soil and reinforcement such as geotextiles, metallic strips or rods of metal. Among the types of MSE Wall, Reinforced Earth (RE) Wall is commonly used in the construction industries nowadays. A reinforced soil should be stable overturning, sliding and bearing capacity and also respect to the internal stability. The main objective of this study is to investigate the factors that influence in the designing of reinforced earth wall through the input of case studies of project at Jalan Tumang, Fasa 1, Segamat, Johor Darul Takzim using spreadsheet. The result will be compared with field data to obtain the best solution of RE wall design for both safety and economic factors. |
