1 Technique: Mechanically Stabilized Earth (USA Mechanically Stabilized Earth (MSE) structures incorporate discrete layers of reinforcement, generally placed horizontally and attached to fascia panels, which are arranged between successive layers of fill during construction. Design Concepts and s A) EMPIRICAL AND ANALYTICA American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials Allowable Stress Design (ASD), Latest and Last Edition 2002 American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials Load Resistance Factor Design (LRFD), Third Edition with Interims The method typically addresses minimum factors of MSE section is treated as a block for evaluating safety based on a ratio of resisting forces/moments external stability, bearing pressure, global stability, divided by driving forces/moments. The method is drainage & seismic design. Internal stability is adjusted on the basis of the reinforcement type; evaluated for pullout & tensile resistance of inextensible (metallic strips & grids) and extensible reinforcements. (polymeric sheets, grids & straps). MSE section is treated as a block for evaluating external stability, bearing pressure, global stability, drainage & seismic design. Internal stability is evaluated for pullout & tensile resistance of reinforcements. The method typically addresses load factors and combinations assigned by defined service limit states, as well as reduction factors based on material types. The method is adjusted on the basis of the reinforcement type; inextensible (metallic strips & grids) and extensible (polymeric sheets, grids & straps). Use of ASD is being phased out by FHWA on public projects. Longer use of the method is expected on commercial projects. Use of the method has to be adjusted to the type of reinforcement used, which is why product-specific design is necessary from suppliers of the technology. Use of LRFD is being phased in by FHWA on public projects. The method is currently calibrated to give similar results as the ASD method. The rationale is to revise load & resistance factors based on performance data from projects designed using the methodology. Use of the method has to be adjusted to the type of reinforcement used, which is why product-specific design is necessary from suppliers of the technology References: See method descriptions. B) SPREADSHEET AND NUMERICAL (e.g. Finite Element ) / Advantages B1 Excel Spreadsheet Applications AASHTO code requirements are easily adapted to spreadsheet programs that that are tailored to specific MSE wall products. Output can be configured to address the length & number of reinforcements by elevation within the MSE block for both static & seismic evaluations. Most suppliers of the various MSE wall products use spreadsheets specific to their product. The spreadsheets developed by suppliers are generally not available to consultants or others outside the supplier companies. This leaves outside sources with the need to develop their own spreadsheets or depend on publicly available software for checking MSE wall designs. B2 Global Stability Programs The programs allow the reinforced soil volume to be Software programs such as PCSTABL from Purdue The evaluation of internal stability is limited to the input input with boundary conditions designated by x-y University and others are available, with provided on the reinforcement elements. Slope stability coordinates. The output provides analyses of adaptations allowing reinforcements to be added methods other than Modified Bishop may be appropriate potential slip planes through the reinforced block into the MSE block. The most common analysis and should be evaluated by a knowledgeable engineer that (internal stability), outside the reinforced block used in the programs is the Modified Bishop understands potential slope failure modes for MSE (external stability and composite combinations for. structures. internal/external stability. B3 The code requirements for AASHTO may be adapted to numerical modeling programs. However, the models are senstive to imposed When used correctly, numerical models are good for boundary conditions, requiring an experienced user identifying potential shortfalls in design of complex Finite element or finite difference modeling with input from intrumented MSE walls. The numerical models are more readily adapted to simultaneous evaluations of internal, external and global stability. applications and for simulating deflections for static conditions and seismic events. For knowledgeable users only. B4 MSEW Computer Program The program has a number of default values embedded The program analyzes a wide variety of MSE wall and difficult to identify for specific applications & Windows-based interactive program that attempts types. It combines all aspects of internal, external abd reinforcement types. The program uses a design to design and analyze all types of MSE applicationsglobal stability design. Its is a suitable analytical tool It follows AASHTO ASD and LRFD design methods. The program is sponsored by FHWA. for intial design purposes; however, spreadsheet programs specific to the product being designed should be used for final analysis. approach called the Simplified, which is less analytically rigorous and only used in the USA. Discrete reinforcing elements are not effectively modelled, since the program makes evaluations on the basis of continuous sheet reinforcements. References: See method descriptions.
2 Technique: DEEP MIXING Design Concepts and s EuroSoilStab design guideline - ultimate limit state Stability is calculate on the base of slip surface calculations with averaged shea parameters, according to improvement area ratio. Full interaction between soil Stability of embankments and strip and columns is assumed. Hence, foundations. columns are just considered in active and direct shear zone and column design shear strength is restricted to low strength columns. Only for substantial axial loading considering low strenght columns. Creep in soil not considered. Spacing of columns is not considered. EuroSoilStab design guideline - serviceability limit state Group of columns model Assumption of same axial deformations in soil and columns. Settlement will be calculated in iterative procedure assuming a load distribution between soil and column. Soil material is assumed to be linear elastic, column material linear elastic perfectly plastic. Linear elastic constituents of reinforced soil. Arbitrary location of columns under the foundation. Settlement behaviour under oedometric loading conditions. Just oedometric loading conditions. Stress dependent stiffness of soil and column neglected.

Improved modelling of interaction column/soil and of the elasto-plastic material behaviour of column and soil as compared to B1. No interaction column/soil is modelled thus not applicable for high loads when soil and/or columns are predominantly in the nonlinear (plastic) range of deformation behaviour. Same constitutive model for soil and column has to be assumed. when failure mechanisms have to be investigated. Requires substantial changes to code. Columns are individually discretized and Complex geometries, group of columns suitable constitutive models are used to supporting individual footings. Interaction Computationally demanding.

The method considers radial drainage only. However, a combined vertical and horizontal drainage can be readily analysed using Carillo's equation.
