Design, Construction, and Monitoring of a 14.9 m High Geosynthetic Reinforced Segmental Retaining Wall in a Seismically Active Region
Development of a new master planned community in a seismically active area required a 14.9 m high retaining wall to be constructed. The segmental retaining wall option was chosen based on economics, while the installation contractor and materials incorporated in the wall were chosen for their past performance and familiarity to the local regulatory agency. The design was developed using National Concrete Masonry (NCMA) methods. Construction procedures and details of monitoring are discussed. Post construction movements are provided for vertical and horizontal wall deformations. In addition, movements resulting from the October 1999 Hector Mine earthquake are documented. Monitoring of the wall will continue in anticipation of capturing the effect of additional seismic events.
