Corrosion Evaluation of Mechanically Stabilized Earth Walls
Numerous reinforced walls and slopes have been built over the past four decades in Kentucky, the United States, as well as worldwide. Tensile elements used in constructing low-cost reinforcing walls and slopes consist of metal polymer strips or grids. Although reinforced structures have been used extensively, the effects of corrosion on the metal tensile elements are unknown. Mechanically stabilized earth walls are expected to remain stable for many decades. An examination of the effects of corrosion of metal tensile elements used to construct these walls can provide invaluable data regarding the longevity of reinforced walls and slopes. Four mechanically stabilized earth walls constructed with galvanized steel reinforcing elements were instrumented and corrosion rates obtained. Corrosion data obtained indicate the designed sacrificial thickness and not be used during the design life of the structures.
