Mechanically stabilized earth (MSE) has
become a frequently used wall type for 40 years due to its flexibility, high
performance against seismic effects, easy application and competitive costs. The
primary reasons for preference are that they can be easily designed on the weak
soils in terms of bearing capacity and settlement, as well as being built at
great heights. However; the search for more economical design of mechanically
stabilized earth walls at great heights has led to the idea of tiered mechanically
stabilized earth walls. Various researchers have suggested different approaches
depending on the width of the tier for the design of tiered mechanically
stabilized earth walls. The walls can be designed by assuming to make up
independent parts or a single wall depending on the width of the tier. In this
respect, numerically investigation of the effect of the tier width will be
useful for understanding the behavior of such walls. Therefore, numerical
models were developed to evaluate the behavior of mechanically stabilized earth
walls with various tier widths and the effects of tier widths were tried to be investigated.
As a result, it has been determined that the tier width is a very effective on
tensile forces of reinforcements in such walls.
