@prajith363 At first we did a lot of trial and error. We started with putting in wider and longer reinforcing strips until we got them down to a reasonable length and width. In the calculations, determine the lateral pressure of the sand pressing against the poster board. Research retaining wall design to give you an idea on lateral pressures. For the surcharge loads, refer to Bousinesq equations.
@KarenAquin i m interested in knowing how u prepared the reinforcement wall for geochallenge MSE wall competition....pls reply....
