Precast concrete facing panels are the most common of facing elements used in MSE wall construction along highways. RECo’s concrete panels employ a lap joint on all horizontal and vertical joints, whereby panel-to-panel contact is avoided and flexibility of the facing is assured. This flexibility is maintained [...]

MSE walls are embedded below the finished ground line for a several reasons. The first but least significant reason is for appearance. Since MSE walls use standard panel sizes their base is comprised of a series of steps, which in combination with the leveling pad, produces a [...]

Many engineers unfamiliar with MSE walls make the assumption that these walls must be founded below the prevailing depth of frost. This is simply not necessary and results in an unnecessary expense when it is enforced as a project specification. The practice of not embedding MSE walls [...]

Nowhere is the need for the embedment of an MSE wall more important than with walls that have their toes submerged in a river or other body of water. In these cases, it is standard to provide increased scour protection (from tidal, wave, ice and storm impacts) [...]

A geosynthetic Reinforced Earth® system known as GeoMega® has been developed for use in aggressive environments such as seawater. The soil reinforcement is named GeoStrap® which consists of high tenacity polyester fibers encased in a polyethylene sheath. The high tenacity polyester is the load bearing element while [...]

1. Tensile Forces at the connection are a function of the facing stiffness. 2. Any connection that requires a lot of effort by the contractor is prone to improper assembly and uneven transfer of loads. For that reason, a good connection must be easily connected during construction. [...]

• It is possible to build a Reinforced Earth wall on poor bearing capacity foundation soils by reducing its weight. • Despite the fact that Reinforced Earth walls are gravity structures where their self-weight is designed to resist the driving lateral forces resulted from earth pressure and [...]

Two years ago, we launched our new website www.precastarches.com, allowing fellow engineers to develop preliminary precast arch solutions for their mining and infrastructure projects. The website has been successfully used numerous times to assess project feasibility, with many clients obtaining the auto-generated arch profiles and estimated footing [...]
