Instrumentation and Evaluation of Tensar Geogrid Wall
The construction of mechanically stabilized earth retaining wall using Tensar geogrids on a Chatham County, Georgia project in 1987 represented the first use of geogrid material in retaining wall construction in the state. Because the polyethylene material used in the geogrids is subject to creep under tensile loads over long periods of time, it was decided to monitor the performance of the wall and the geogrid material. The objectives of the study were to determine the elongation and strain levels of the geogrid at various elevations in the wall, and monitor horizontal and vertical movements of the retaining wall panels at certain points. The monitoring was performed at two to five month intervals for a period of three years after the wall was completed. The study concluded that the retaining wall performed satisfactorily, although movements due to creep continue to occur at a very slow rate. Total strain levels of the geogrid were found to be within acceptable limits, as were the vertical settlements of the wall panels.
