Highway Agencies and by US Federal agencies. Version 1.0 has been designated exclusively for use by US State The same applied to database files.ĪDAMA Engineering developed the copyrighted program MSEW Version 1.0 for the US Federal Highway Administration (FHWA). Furthermore,īy a click of a button, virtually all tables in MSEW(3.0) can beĮxported to Excel or be printed. Includes elements such as connection strength thus facilitating a moreĬomprehensive stability analysis for which ReSSA is ideal. For more in-depth and efficient global analysis, MSEW(3.0) canĮxport data files for analysis using ReSSA(2.0). Systems as well as the occasional need to conduct forensic study.Īllows for global stability analysis using Bishop method with circularĪrc. Such exploration is useful for the development of new Although the program generally follows the guidelines ofĮstablished design procedures, the user can explore design options andĬoncepts beyond the formal guidelines the user can override allĭefault values. NCMA is limited to geosynthetic reinforced segmental retaining walls Note that AASHTO98/02 is based on allowable stress design ( ASD) whereas AASHTO 2007-2010 is based on load resistance factor design ( LRFD). The design and analysis of mechanically stabilized earth walls.
