Condition Assessment of Earth Reinforcements for Asset Management
Mechanically Stabilized Earth (MSE) structures have been constructed in the United States since 1971 using galvanized steel soil reinforcements. Currently there are more than 45,000 MSE structures with steel reinforcements in service throughout the United States. These critical components of the surface transportation network should be included in a Transportation Asset Management (TAM) program, and this paper briefly describes techniques and data tools to collect and analyze data and measure performance of MSE structures.
