GEOTECHNICAL WALL
The objective is to design and build a model wrapped faced mechanically stabilized earth (MSE) retaining wall using kraft paper reinforcement. The competition objectives are for students to:
Design a MSE wall using the least amount of facing and reinforcement material needed to support the retained soil and design loads.
Effectively communicate their analysis and design processes.
Enjoy a friendly but spirited competition among schools.
Attend a world-class professional engineering conference.
