GeoWall

What is ASCE GeoWall Competition?

GeoWall is a national student competition sponsored by the Geo-Institute of the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE)

ASCE Geo-Institute hosts university teams from across the nation to design and build a model mechanically stabilized earth (MSE) retaining wall using paper reinforcement

Student teams conducted background research and laboratory testing to create a wall design

Students must summarized their design in a report, which they submitted to the competition

Each year 20 finalists are selected to compete at the national level by traveling across United States to attend the International Foundations Congress and Equipment Expo
