Abstract
• The model was made purposely simple to focus attention on the qualitative influence of stiffness on reinforcement loads. • Using numerical models to infer quantitative performance of actual MSE walls must be undertaken with caution and skill. • Small changes in numerical model details can give widely different estimates of reinforcement loads. • The veracity of any numerical model should be based on comparisons with more than one physical wall of realistic height. • The accuracy of design methods must be assessed using measured loads from full-scale walls, not numerical models.
