MSE Wall Design

Title: Test Run
MSE WALL DESIGN SPREADSHEET
By:
Checked:
README
Directions:
This spreadsheet is to be used as an aid for designing and analyzing MSE walls. The spreadsheet contains five tabs:
"README", "INPUT", "WORKSHEET_FINAL", "WORKSHEET_CONSTR", and "OUTPUT". The "README" tab
outlines the design criteria and provides sketches of various MSE wall configurations. The "INPUT" tab contains all the
input necessary to complete the design/analysis of the MSE wall. The "WORKSHEET_FINAL" tab performs all internal
and external stability calculations for the completed in-service MSE wall structure. The "WORKSHEET_CONSTR" tab
performs the external and internal stability calculations for the temporary construction loading condition. The
"OUTPUT" tab presents an output table which summarizes the external and internal stability checks, indicates the
controlling design locations, and calculates performance ratios for the controlling locations. The performance ratio is
taken as a ratio of the allowable to the actual. Performance ratios greater than or equal to 1.0 are "OK", while
performance ratios less than 1.0 are "NG!". For further information, refer to the Manual for this spreadsheet.
Design Criteria:
AASHTO LRFD Bridge Design Specifications 5th Edition with 2010 Interim Revisions, Section 11.10 Mechanically
Stabilized Earth Walls. Any sections referenced in Section 11.10 will follow the AASHTO LRFD as modified by
PennDOT Design Manual Part 4 (DM-4), Part B Design Specifications, except as noted.
Color Coding:
- Denotes Input Cells
- Internal Calculations by the spreadsheet
- External Stability Checks
Red Text - Red Text will indicate warnings and errors where applicable
