Shored Mechanically Stabilized Earth (SMSE) Wall Systems Design Guidelines
Federal Lands Highway (FLH) is responsible for design and construction of roadways in rugged, mountainous terrain. MSE walls are frequently used to accommodate widening of existing roads or construction of new roadways. However, in steep terrain, excavation is required to establish a flat bench on which to construct the MSE wall. Shoring has often been employed to stabilize the backslope (or back-cut) for the MSE wall, and an MSE wall has been designed and constructed in front of it. Where a shored MSE wall system is determined to be the best alternative for wall construction, design of the MSE wall component should take into consideration the retaining benefits provided by the shoring component, as well as the long-term behavior of each individual wall system. The purpose of this design guideline is to serve as the FLH standard reference for highway projects involving shored MSE walls.
