Abstract

Internally stabilized walls have entirely transformed the soil preservation mechanism. While such walls have achieved widespread recognition in many areas of the world, such a structure is widely adopted recently. The key explanation might be that such walls are likely to be more costly than traditional externally reinforced walls and that the construction processes included could be too time-consuming. This article provides an overview of the background, styles, advantages, and disadvantages of Mechanically stabilized earth (MSE) wall requirements. For contrast, traditional construction samples of externally and internally supported walls have been given, including metal strip reinforcement walls, reinforcement concrete cantilever retaining wall, geotextile reinforcement walls, and grounded earth walls of various heights.
