This document discusses two projects in New Jersey where mechanically stabilized earth (MSE) walls were constructed over soft, compressible soils. A two-stage construction technique was used where a flexible wire-faced MSE wall was first built to accommodate settlement, then precast panels were connected to complete the wall.
