This paper presents three design cases modeled by a geotechnical finite difference program used to study behavior and overall performance of narrow Shored Reinforced Earth Walls (SREW). SREW is a technology that combines the relative flexibility of a Mechanically Stabilized Earth (MSE) design in close proximity to an anchored or otherwise stabilized wall face with limited lateral space between. The design cases were selected based upon (1) a stand alone conventional MSE design for the narrow wall section, (2) a direct attachment design with anchors from new wall fascia to an existing stabilized face and (3) a “Sandwich Connection” design concept using overlapping reinforcements between the new wall fascia and existing stabilized face. By this study, the Sandwich Connection concept is a preferable design alternative for construction of a narrow wall section when space is available between new and existing wall facings.
