Book excerpt: In 1996, the Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT) completed the construction of a unique mechanically stabilized earth (MSE) wall with an independent full-height facing (IFF) for the ramp connecting northbound Interstate-25 to Interstate -70 in Denver, Colorado. The main objective of this study was to upgrade the I-25/I-70 MSE/IFF wall for future standard use of this wall system by identifying modifications and additions to the design and construction of the I-25/I-70 MSE/IFF wall that would improve performance and save money and time. This report provides insight into material, construction, construction problems and corrective actions, monitoring, performance and design assessment of the I-25/I-70 MSE/IFF wall. The wall system performed as intended in the design.
