ABSTRACT: Over the past 45 years, MSE walls have become the preferred wall type in many civil engineering projects. On all sites with poor foundation soils, the geotechnical engineer is challenged to provide an effective approach to solve low-bearing and high settlement issues. An MSE wall is a semi-flexible structure and can tolerate higher differential settlement which makes it a good candidate for this application. The focus of this paper is on the many varied techniques that have been used in the past to solve this age old challenge.
RÉSUMÉ: Au cours des 45 dernières années, les murs TMS sont devenus le type de mur préféré dans de nombreux projets de génie civil. Sur tous les chantiers ayant un sol de fondation pauvre, l'ingénieur en géotechnique est mis au défi de fournir une approche efficace pour résoudre les problèmes de faible capacité portante et des niveaux de tassements élevés. Le mur TMS est une structure semi-flexible et peut tolérer des tassemetns différentiels élevés ce qui le rend un bon candidat pour cette application. Cet article fera le point sur les techniques variées qui ont été utilisées dans le passé pour résoudre ce vieux défi.
