MSE WALL DESIGN SPREADSHEET 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.
