Sažetak
Observation and numerical modeling of MSE test wall is presented here. The 6m wide and 3.2m high wall with 10cm thick precast concrete face elements and reinforcement length of 2.15m was built on construction site of Motorway 5C in Bosnia and Herzegovina. Welded wire mash Q335 was used as reinforcement. Compared to other MSE test walls, the presented work is unique due to the choice of backfill material consisting of course crushed stone aggregate ranging from ~0-100mm in size whereas most of other published studies used sandy backfill. Two weeks after the construction, the top of the wall was loaded with additional overburden weight 1, 5m in height (~30 kPa). The forces in reinforcement were measured with a series of embedded sensors and deformation with an inclinometer installed in the middle of the wall length, including geodetic survey of wall face. Experimentally observed results are compared to the analysis results obtained from numerical model created using Plaxis software.
