An extended data base and recommendations regarding 320 failed geosynthetic reinforced mechanically stabilized earth (MSE) walls

While the issues reported in 2013 did indeed prompt the initiation of an inspector's certification program (Geosynthetic Certification Institute - Inspector Certification Program) it has not been very successful and has attracted only 24-participants to date. Hopefully this updated paper will energize the parties involved and the MSE reinforced wall community at large to take appropriate action in correcting the situation described herein.
