...P. Xu; G. Yang; K. Hatami; T. Li The paper presents an upper-bound solution for the bearing capacity based on the assumption of a general two-part-wedge (TPW) slip plane in MSE walls subjected to strip footing load. The proposed method is validated against the results from different analytical...

...P. Xu; K. Hatami; G. Yang; T. Li; X. Liang The paper presents a numerical modeling study on the bearing capacity of full-height panel, Mechanically Stabilized Earth (MSE) walls under strip footing using a validated finite element method that is based on upper-bound limit analysis (FE-UBLA...

...S.Y. Lim; J.S. McCartney ABSTRACT: The reduction factors used to account for the impact of installation damage on the tensile strength of geogrids employed in mechanically stabilised earth (MSE) walls and reinforced embankments are usually obtained from field tests that simulate actual construction...

...Y.-B. Lee; H.-Y. Ko; J.S. McCartney ABSTRACT: In mountainous areas such as Colorado it is often necessary to extend the width of highway embankments to add traffic lanes. In such situations, a viable design alternative is to construct a mechanically stabilized earth (MSE) wall next to the existing...
