... 47 PROBLEM TITLE Prediction of Remaining Service Life for Mechanically Stabilized Earth (MSE) Walls RESEARCH PROBLEM STATEMENT There are an estimated 16.3 million square meters of various types of walls along the nation's highways (DiMaggio 2008)
From page 50...
... 48 Task 3: Apply the method in order to both calibrate and verify it against case histories and/or known performance data for particular groups of MSE walls. It is recognized that a rigorous assessment of the method's predictive ability by comparison with existing wall inventories will be limited by the availability of performance data as well as the ages of walls in our existing MSE wall inventories.
