Abstract
The capability of the rockfall protection MSE-Wall (Mechanically Stabilized Earth Wall) was confirmed by actual rolling rock test in June 1998. However, it is difficult to comprehend about capability of the rockfall protection MSE-Wall except the same test condition and it is also difficult to do appropriate design for several cases of load because there is a little assurance about rockfall protection MSE-Wall. Therefore it seemed to be needed to rerun the actual test for analysis, and determine the parameter of physical factor of the rockfall protection MSE-Wall for suitable desgin. In this paper the determination of analytical model and physical factor of the Rockfall Protection MSE-Wall that matches test results is described by dynamic response analysis using finite element method.
