MSE walls are reliable, constructible, and cost effective. However, designing and analysis of MSE all has become a problem for many agencies using them. In this paper a Finite-Element Program PLAXIS is used to analysis and designing of 44 meter 4 tiered MSE wall. Based on the parametric studies it is observed that the top 1 st tiered wall shows the deflection of about 130mm, the total displacement of wall is about 132mm, extreme stresses on to the wall are about 29.69%, and total extreme stresses are about kn/m 2 to the downward direction from the top of the wall. This paper presents the results of investigations to design and analysis of 44 meter MSE wall. 1. INTRODUCTION Soil is an abundant construction material, which has compressive strength and no tensile strength. To overcome this weakness, the soil can be reinforced with materials with high tensile strength. The basic principal of earth reinforcement is the generation of frictional resisting force between the backfill soil and reinforcing element. The reinforcing element can be geosynthetics, metal straps, strips and bars etc. Mechanically stabilized earth (MSE) is a method of reinforcing earthen materials so that they can support their own weight within the minimum space and maximum side slopes. MSE walls are typically constructed using four structural components: 1) geogrid reinforcement 2) wall facing 3) retained backfill and 4) reinforced backfill soil. The facing also plays an important role in the stability of the wall, which includes precast concrete panels, dry cast modular blocks, metal sheet and plates, gabions, welded wire mesh, shotcrete, wood lagging and panels, and wrapped sheet of geosynthetics. 2. PROBLEM STATEMENT The basic need of the infrastructure in civil engineering is continuously increasing to cater the development of nation, and it is necessary that invent new technique to minimize the use of cement concrete in all infrastructural projects and generate a new environmental friendly technique for the construction of various civil engineering structures. Widening of roads in hilly terrains, construction of embankments and foundations on soft soils with minimum utilization of land are the major issues to be addressed during planning and design stages of all major projects. Therefore in the present study the analysis and designing of 44 meters, 4 tiered MSE wall for the widening
2 of Ghat road has been carried out using finite element program PLAXIS OBJECTIVE OF STUDY The main objective of the current study is to determine the alternate method for construction of highway roads in hilly areas. The major tasks performed in this study are as follows 1. To study the fundamental principal and further development of reinforced structures to achive economical designing of the wall. 2. Perform the parametric studies of the various factors that may govern the important parameters of MSE wall like a) The effects of reinforcement. b) The effects of backfill soil. c) The final objective is to compare the total displacement, stresses, strains and axial forces developed in the reinforcing layers as well as in soil. 4. DISCRIPTION OF TIERED WALLS The MSE wall consists of 4 tiered walls each of 11meter height, with effective length of reinforcing layer at 1 st tiered wall from the bottom is of 20meter, 2 nd tiered having 15meter, 3 rd tiered having 12meter and top 4 th having 10 meters respectively. The total numbers of reinforcing layers are 28, in which each tiered wall heaving 7 reinforcing layers of geogrid SR- 2/UX1700. The present study is initially intended to work with concrete modular blocks of size 300mm 300mm in plane with a height of 200mm. uniformly graded sand with different relative density and unit weight was used as backfill and surcharge for each tier. Reinforcing geogrid is used as reinforcing material with minimum vertical spacing is of 80mm and maximum spacing is of 280mm. this spacing is determined by the relevant books and codes. A IRC CLASS-A loading was applied as a moving load on to the wall considering as a worth condition for the movement of the vehicles to the wall. a 300mm 300mm vertical chimney is to be design at the facing side of the wall for the proper drainage of the runoff water.

3 5. FINITE-ELEMENT MODELING The widening of ghat road in hilly areas where other conventional techniques are not applicable accepts the construction of MSE wall has been chosen for this parametric study. This paper based on the construction of the 40 meter soil reinforced wall in Vijayawada (Andhra Pradesh). Fig. 5.1 Finite-Element Modeling of the Soil Wall The reinforced wall is design as per the relevant clauses in BS and NCMA design manual on design of segmental retaining wall. For the finite element modeling of the wall PLAXIS 8.2 (a finite-element code for rock and soil analysis) has been chosen, and the construction of the wall is carried out safely and economically. The finite element mesh consists of 1276 numbers of 15-node triangular elements to the entire tiered wall and 338 number of 5- node bar element to model the reinforcement (geogrid). The horizontal and vertical boundary conditions are apply for the safe and accurate designing. 6. MATERIAL DATA SHEET There are four major components which constitute a reinforcing soil system. These are the soils, the reinforcement, the draining soil and the facing (skin). In order to design safe and economical reinforced soil structures it is necessary to have detailed characteristics of all four components. The Backfill and Draining Materials High quality backfill material is required for durability, good drainage, and good reinforcement interaction, which can be obtained from well graded granular materials. The back fill soil properties have a great influence on behavior of reinforced soil. The unit weights of materials, in Table 1, provide reasonable values for unit weights of soils in the absence of reliable test results.

Since the facing is the visible part of the structure, it also controls the aesthetics of the reinforced earth wall. The Reinforcing Element The soil reinforcing element is designed and positioned within the compacted backfill to give

7 Displacement Displacement, in Newtonian mechanics, specifies the change in position of a point in reference to a previous position. In simple terms, it's the difference between the initial position and the final position of an object. Fig. 7.4 presented the load vs. settlement graph for different reinforcing layer, which shows that at a constant loading, as the depth increases the settlement were also increases.

CONCLUSION The finite element analysis performed in this study has indicated that geotextile reinforcement may be an effective method of improving the performance of embankments constructed over ghat road. The stabilizing effect of the geotextile was seen to increase as the geotextile modulus increased. The effect was greatest for shallower deposits. The effect of geotextile reinforcement was compared with alternative construction techniques which involved the use of light weight fill or berms alone and in conjunction with geotextile reinforcement. In particular, it was found that the combined use of geotextile reinforcement and light weight fill may be a very effective means of improving the performance of embankments over hilly terrain. 9.
