![]() ![]() ![]() The influence of reinforcement stiffness is demonstrated by comparing numerical predictions for the same MSE wall with relatively inextensible steel strips and with relatively extensible polymeric strips. ![]() Examples of numerical predictions for facing deformations, toe loads due to soil down-drag behind the panels, soil and reinforcement settlements, and reinforcement tensile loads are presented. Details of the numerical approach including modelling of the reinforcement strips, concrete facing panels and compressible bearing pads between panels are described. These systems pose numerical challenges as a result of the discontinuous reinforcement arrangement which is not the case for MSE walls constructed with continuous reinforcement layer configurations. This paper reports the results of 3D numerical modelling of a 6-m-high mechanically stabilised earth (MSE) wall constructed with concrete panels and steel or polymeric strip reinforcement. ![]()
