MSE Drainage Issues and Design
Publication: Geosynthetics Research and Development in Progress
Abstract
Failures of MSE wall and slope structures are frequently attributed to poor drainage and the presence of water within or behind the reinforced zone. Such failures are likely to increase as the use of low permeability backfill material is increased due to perceived (i.e., neglecting the cost of failure) economics. Prefabricated composite sheet drains can provide a solution enabling rapid drainage while keeping costs down. This research should produce a computerized design to enable a rational incorporation of such drains in MSE structures.
