Reinforced Earth retaining wall
RETAINED EARTH™
Reinforced Earth Company
Retained Earth® MSE retaining walls are coherent gravity structures engineered to resist specific loading requirements. The primary components of a Retained Earth wall consist of alternating layers of granular backfill, and welded wire bar mat soil reinforcements to which a modular precast concrete facing is attached. Its strength and stability are derived from the frictional interaction between the granular backfill and the reinforcements, resulting in a permanent and predictable bond that creates a unique composite construction material. A mechanical connection between the precast concrete facing panels and the soil reinforcements is achieved by way of a clevis loop embed and high-strength steel connector rod. This connection creates a system that is technically sound and highly reliable.
