Summary
The Nehemiah anchored earth wall system was first developed and introduced in Malaysia in 1993. The system has been used all over Malaysia and it is being implemented in countries like Singapore, India, Bangladesh and Sri Lanka. This system has been used as part of the bridge abutment that retains embankment soil on the Southern Transport Development Project. The Nehemiah anchored earth wall is a type of reinforced soil wall system, which is reinforced by galvanized steel bars and anchored by precast concrete blocks. The facing is vertical consisting of modular hexagonal shaped concrete panels interlocked together. The mode of stress transfer from the backfill to the reinforcement is by passive resistance in addition to friction
