Event Description/Abstract
Due to their lower costs, Mechanically Stabilized Earth (MSE) walls have become the preferred type of retaining structure by transportation agencies across the United States. However, costs associated with the repair or reconstruction of poor-performing MSE walls can outweigh their initial cost savings. Therefore, MSE walls must be properly constructed in accordance with agency specifications and manufacturer guide- lines. This presentation outlines the requirements and best practices involved with constructing MSE walls for INDOT projects.
