IMPORTANTNOTES (Preliminary/ConceptualDesign)
(1) This printout contains an Application Suggestion which has been prepared by a Tensar affiliate or by LICENSEE to enable the application of Tensar Geogrids to be
evaluated by a qualified and experience professional engineer. The calculations are derived from a standardized software program which generally follows AASHTO or
NCMA design methodologies and which has been modified to incorporate certain properties of Tensar products.
(2) This printout provides certain limited information for preliminary or conceptual design only, and does not itself constitute a design or plan suitable for construction. A final
engineered design and plan, with drawings and installation details and construction requirements, signed and sealed by a registered professional engineer, is required prior
to actual construction.
(3) Any mechanically-stabilized earth structure involves various engineering, design, material, construction and end-use considerations. Many of these are site specific, such
as (but not limited to) terrain and grading, watertable, the nature and strength of the foundation and backfill soils, the quality and compaction of the backfill, surface and
subsurface water control and drainage, the presence of utilities and other elements in or around the structure, use of proper equipment and construction practices during
installation, neighboring construction activity, load factors, other environmental factors and the like. Final determination of the suitability of any information or material for the
use contemplated and the manner of use is the sole responsibility of the user and its professional advisors, who must assume all risk and liability in connection therewith.
Tensar assumes no responsibility or liability to the recipient or any third party for the whole or any part of the content of any Application Suggestion or other work product.

Method of
analysis
The calculation method used in this Design Analysis is the tie-back wedge method for MSE walls given in
Chapter 4 of Mechanically Stabilized Earth Walls and Reinforced Soil Slopes, Design & Construction
Guidelines, Federal Highway Administration, Demonstration Project 82, Publication No FHWA-SA-96-071
(August, 1997).
