Many engineers unfamiliar with MSE walls make the assumption that these walls must be founded below the prevailing depth of frost. This is simply not necessary and results in an unnecessary expense when it is enforced as a project specification. The practice of not embedding MSE walls for frost [...]

A geosynthetic Reinforced Earth® system known as GeoMega® has been developed for use in aggressive environments such as seawater. The soil reinforcement is named GeoStrap® which consists of high tenacity polyester fibers encased in a polyethylene sheath. The high tenacity polyester is the load bearing element while the sheath [...]
