8.2 Mechanically Reinforced Earth Walls The mechanically reinforced earth wall uses the principle of placing reinforcing into the backfill using devices such as metal strips and rods,geotextile strips and sheets and grids,or wire grids. Three basic components: ”( 1The earth fill-usually select granular material 2Reinforcement-fastened to the facing unit and extending into the backfill some distance 3Facing unit-not necessary but usually used to maintain appearance and to avoid soil erosion between the reinforcement
8.2 Mechanically Reinforced Earth Walls ❖ The mechanically reinforced earth wall uses the principle of placing reinforcing into the backfill using devices such as metal strips and rods, geotextile strips and sheets and grids, or wire grids. ❖ Three basic components: ❖ ①The earth fill-usually select granular material ❖ ②Reinforcement-fastened to the facing unit and extending into the backfill some distance ❖ ③Facing unit-not necessary but usually used to maintain appearance and to avoid soil erosion between the reinforcement
8.2 Mechanically Reinforced Earth Walls The facing units may be curved or flat metal plates or precast concrete strips or plates.Where geotextiles are used the sheet may lap to produce the facing unit. Grid-type reinforcements strengthen the soil through a combination of friction and passive pressure pullout resistance. The bent-up portion used as a facing pieces provides some erosion control until the wall is completed.-Fig.8.3
