Download or read book Assessing the Long-term Performance of Mechanically Stabilized Earth Walls written by Travis M. Gerber and published by Transportation Research Board. This book was released on 2012 with total page 211 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Mechanically stabilized earth (MSE) walls are an important class of infrastructure assets whose long-term performance depends on various factors. As with most all other classes of assets, MSE walls need periodic inspection and assessment of performance. To date, some agencies have established MSE wall monitoring programs, whereas others are looking for guidance, tools, and funding to establish their own monitoring programs. The objective of this synthesis project is to determine how transportation agencies monitor, assess, and predict the long-term performance of MSE walls. The information used to develop this synthesis came from a literature review together with a survey and interviews. Of the 52 U.S. and 12 Canadian targeted survey recipients, 39 and five, respectively, responded. This synthesis reveals that unlike bridges and pavements, MSE walls and retaining walls in general are often overlooked as assets. Fewer than one-quarter of state-level transportation agencies in the United States have developed some type of MSE wall inventory beyond that which may be captured as part of their bridge inventories. Fewer still have the methods and means to populate their inventories with data from ongoing inspections from which assessments of wall performance can be made. In the United States, there is no widely used, consistently applied system for managing MSE walls. Wall inventory and monitoring practices vary between agencies. This synthesis examines existing practices concerning the nature, scope, and extent of existing MSE wall inventories. It also examines the collection of MSE wall data, including the types of performance data collected, how they are maintained in wall inventories and databases, the frequency of inventory activities, and assessment practices relevant to reinforcement corrosion and degradation. Later parts of this synthesis discuss how MSE wall performance data are assessed, interpreted, and used in asset management decisions. This synthesis finds that the most well-implemented wall inventory and assessment system in the United States is the Wall Inventory Program developed by FHWA for the National Park Service. However, this system, like some others, uses 'condition narratives' in a process that can be somewhat cumbersome and subjective. Other systems use more direct numeric scales to describe wall conditions, and an advantage of such systems is that they are often compatible with those used in assessments of bridges. As experience with MSE walls accumulates, agencies will likely continue to develop, refine, and better calibrate procedures affecting design, construction, condition assessment, and asset management decisions. One portion of this synthesis is dedicated to summarizing the actions taken thus far by survey respondents to improve the long-term performance of their MSE walls. Many agencies prescribe the use of a pre-approved wall design and/or wall supplier. Other actions or policies frequently focus on drainage-related issues."--Summary.
Book Synopsis Long Term Corrosion of Reinforcing Strips in Mechanically Stabilized Earth Walls by : Brandon Seth Berke
Download or read book Long Term Corrosion of Reinforcing Strips in Mechanically Stabilized Earth Walls written by Brandon Seth Berke and published by . This book was released on 2009 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ABSTRACT: Mechanically stabilized earth (MSE) walls are a more advanced form of a retaining wall, often larger and able to hold back more backfill. This is achieved by reinforcing strips or meshes (most often galvanized steel) placed into the soil, which are held in place by friction. The strips mechanically stabilize the earth while undergoing tension. The wall is covered with concrete medallions that connect to the reinforcements. The medallions have only a secondary structural role in holding up the wall but provide cover that protects the soil from washing away. MSE walls are structures expected to have very long service lives (e.g. 100 years). Confirmation is needed that such durability can be achieved, especially to show that the progression of corrosion of the reinforcement is slow enough. Ten MSE walls around Florida were instrumented (electrical connections were made through the concrete covers to the buried elements) between 1996- 1998 and used to survey corrosion rates of galvanized strip or mesh soil reinforcements. Initial estimates of corrosion-related durability were obtained at that time, indicating a good prognosis for long term durability. The objective of the research in this thesis was to obtain additional indications of the durability of reinforcements in MSE walls in Florida so as to perform a more reliable projection of future performance. Corrosion behavior was measured at the same locations as the initial survey by electrochemical nondestructive tests and by destructive tests. The nondestructive testing consisted of half-cell potentials, polarization resistance measurements, and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy. Corrosion rates reported in this thesis are based upon polarization resistance measurements. The destructive testing consisted of soil extraction and hardware extraction. Hardware extraction enabled independent verification of estimates of electrochemical corrosion rate. Analysis of extracted soil verified that soil composition was within construction specifications. The data from the current survey were also used to further improve prediction of corrosion. The present series of evaluations confirm that the structures are performing as desired based upon the updated model projection of future corrosion.

Book Synopsis Evaluation of Corrosion of Metallic Reinforcements and Connections in MSE Retaining Walls by : Christopher L. Raeburn
Download or read book Evaluation of Corrosion of Metallic Reinforcements and Connections in MSE Retaining Walls written by Christopher L. Raeburn and published by . This book was released on 2008 with total page 42 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mechanically Stabilized Earth (MSE) retaining walls have become the dominant retained wall system on ODOT projects. The permanent MSE walls constructed on ODOT projects, in recent years, use metallic reinforcements and facing connections buried directly in the backfill soil. Accelerated deterioration of these structural elements would have serious financial and safety impacts for the Department. Classical MSE wall design incorporates an estimate of deterioration of reinforcement by corrosion. Monitoring of actual corrosion performance, however, is an important element of managing the current inventory of MSE walls. Monitoring could answer key questions that can provide for the best management of the existing walls, and provide feedback to the design process for future installations. This report details a literature review of methods for estimating and measuring deterioration of structural reinforcing elements in both concrete and MSE walls. It also presents a selected history of metallic reinforcement design specification and utilization. A listing of the MSE walls that can be identified in the ODOT Bridge Data System is included.
Book Synopsis Assessment of In-situ Corrosion Conditions at Nevada Mechanically Stabilized Earth Wall Sites by : Nelson Pearson
Download or read book Assessment of In-situ Corrosion Conditions at Nevada Mechanically Stabilized Earth Wall Sites written by Nelson Pearson and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page 286 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The inability of soil to provide sufficient tensile strength presents challenges for soils being used as a structural building material. However, it is possible to improve the structural performance with the inclusion of a reinforcing system. The development of these systems has been a major advancement of the civil engineering practice. Mechanically stabilized earth (MSE) wall systems typically consist of a: concrete facing panel, specified backfill, reinforcing elements, and the retained fill. The interaction of the backfill with the reinforcements, and the reinforcements with the facing panels, produces a system that when properly designed, can be a cost effective engineering solution. In Nevada there are over 150 MSE walls that have been constructed using metallic reinforcements (Thornley 2009). Corrosion of metallic elements a naturally occurring electrochemical process is irreversible an inevitable. The rate of metal loss (corrosion) is a function of the environmental conditions and metal type. For MSE walls key parameters include the backfill's: salt content, organic content, saturation level, as well as the metal type of the reinforcements. Nevada has two previous corrosion investigations, an extensive site investigation at I-515/ Flamingo Rd. and a statistical analysis of as-built soil records along with a preliminary investigation for I-15/ Cheyenne Blvd. These studies form the foundation for this investigation of in-situ corrosion conditions. Seven MSE wall sites were investigated using electrochemical backfill characterization and linear polarization resistance (LPR) corrosion rate monitoring. Evaluation of electrochemical backfill characteristics has resulted in the discovery of six sites that fail current NDOT/ AASHTO MSE wall backfill requirements. The in-situ soil samples collected and analyzed more than doubled the available data used to describe the corrosiveness of the backfill. Linear polarization resistance corrosion rates were obtained for more than 200 different elements. These data suggest that despite the aggressive nature of the backfill, most elements are preforming well and are below the anticipated rates. However, several elements were discovered with corrosion rates in excess of five times the design model. The use of the LPR corrosion monitoring has concluded that the conditions at I-15/ and Cheyenne Blvd. are equivalent to or worse than the conditions evaluated in 2004 at the I-515/ Flamingo Rd. complex. The discoveries at Flamingo Rd. led to remediation of the largest wall at the complex. Through the use of electrochemical backfill characteristics and LPR corrosion rates, the seven sites investigated have been ranked. The rankings are dependent on several factors such as backfill electrochemical conditions and comparison of corrosion rates data with design models. This study has confirmed that observations of conditions along the exterior of the wall are not sufficient when determining the condition of the soil reinforcements. Routine corrosion monitoring is required to monitor the depletion of the soil reinforcements and should be incorporated into a Long-term Corrosion Monitoring and Asset Management Plan (LCMAMP). It is anticipated that a program will be integrated into Nevada's current asset management systems. The development and implementation of LCMAMP, directly reflects the federal initiative for systematic detailed evaluation of critical assets, MAP-21.
