Abstract
Mechanically stabilized earth walls is an efficient solution to overcome the problem the society faces due to the overpopulation. Constructing a building above a MSE Walls is very risky for designers, since damage of the soil reinforcement is predictable in this case. In this research, Two dimensional Finite Element analysis model of a MSE Wall was constructed using different constitutive models for simulating the backfill. A comparison between the numerically predicted model and full-scale test was conducted is presented to assess the adequacy of the numerical model adopted.The parametric study included changing properties of the contents of the MSE Walls and studying its effect on the overall stability. The results indicated that bearing resistance of a strip footing above a MSE Wall recommended by FHWA is higher than minimum bearing capacity concluded from the analysis
