Using Reinforced Earth Walls for Blast Mitigation

Abstract

The purpose of this report was to assess current blast mitigation methods. Several blast mitigation walls were constructed and tested to analyze their performance against force protection criteria. The three blast mitigation walls that were tested included a Hesko-Bastion Concertainer Revetment Module, a Maccaferri FlexMac Revetment Module and a Reinforced Earth Wall using Tensar Geotextiles.
