  1. Mechanically Stabilized ReinforcedEarth (MSE) Retaining Wall Prepared by: Karozhin Abdulrazzaq Diman Sleman Shireen Nabaz Supervised by: Dr. Ahmed Mohammad

  2. Objective of the project • The objective is to design reinforced earth retaining structures using different types of Geosynthetics

  3. Metallic strip • Reinforced-earth walls are flexible walls. Their main components are: • Backfill, which is granular soil • Reinforcing strips, which are thin, wide strips placed at regular intervals, and • A cover or skin, on the front face of the wall

  4. Example of metallic strip

  5. Geogrid • Geogrids can also be used as reinforcement in granular backfill for the construction of retaining walls • Relatively few field measurements are available for lateral earth pressure on retaining walls constructed with geogrid reinforcement.

  6. Example of geogrid
