In addition to the flexibility of MSE walls in design and construction, seismic testing conducted on a large scale shaking table laboratory at the Japan National Institute of Agricultural Engineering (Tsukuba City), showed that modular block reinforced walls, and even more so geocell retention walls, retain sufficient flexibility to withstand large deformations without loss of structural integrity, and have high seismic load resistance.
In addition to the adaptability of MSE walls in design and construction, large-scale seismic testing conducted on a shaking table laboratory at the Japan National Institute of Agricultural Engineering (Tsukuba City) revealed that modular block reinforced walls, and even more so geocell retention walls, can withstand significant deformations without compromising structural integrity and exhibit high resistance to seismic loads.
