Abstract
The Coherent Gravity Method has been used for more than three decades for design of Mechanically Stabilized Earth (MSE) structures. This paper discusses the history and essential characteristics of the Coherent Gravity Method and compares it to other available design methods such as the tie-back wedge, structure stiffness and simplified methods, and to monitored wall performance. These comparisons show that the Coherent Gravity Method accurately models the behavior of MSE structures reinforced with steel reinforcements, demonstrating why it is the design method recommended by the MSE industry and preferred by state departments of transportation.
