Synopsis: 

In recent years, many departments of transportation are working to keep pace with population growth by considering major infrastructure improvements to their highways. The successive expansion of the highway system to meet increasing demand has made extension of the right-of-way economically prohibitive. The use of earth retaining walls has allowed highway upgrades to be constructed within existing right-of-ways, consequently lowering the additional cost of acquiring separate lands. The design of such systems, in particular for the soil MSE wall, is done using computer programs such Goldnail and Snail. These computer codes are based on limit-equilibrium methods and are typically used as design tools for conventional wall systems in which some degree of wall deflection is tolerated. Moreover, these methods do not account for the additional outward thrust expected to occur at the soil nail/MSE wall interface. As a result, the requirements for designing MSE walls systems should not only be based on stability but should also be based on wall deformation. The aim of the paper to provide guideline about designing procedure of MSE Wall & Analysis it by F.E.M. (PLAXIS) method.
