Mse Retaining Wall Panels

Mse mechanically stabilized earth walls are used to stabilize slopes and retain soil.

Mse retaining wall panels.

A mechanically stabilized earth mse retaining wall is a composite structure consisting of alternating layers of compacted backfill and soil reinforcement elements fixed to a wall facing. Mse retaining walls are a modern alternative to the conventional reinforced concrete retaining wall and have a number of advantages over concrete retaining walls. Mechanically stabilized embankment mse for retaining walls on most state highway projects the typical wall is constructed of a precast panel facing and granular soils reinforced with linear reinforcements of metal strips metal grids or hdpe grids. They re generally made from precast segmental blocks panels or geocells that are designed to tolerate movement.

The precast forms are filled with soil to create a strong structure that is able to retain the soil backfill. Mse retaining walls consist of soil reinforcing elements precast concrete blocks and wall facing. The stability of the wall system is derived from the interaction between the backfill and soil reinforcements involving friction and tension.
