Abstract
Disclosed are embodiments of a mechanically stabilized earth (MSE) retaining wall that employs one or more reinforcement rods and that can be produced with inexpensive, widely available parts. A concrete panel is provided. A steel connector is provided with a loop and first and second stems. The loop is secured within the concrete panel. The first and second stems are secured to and extend in a linear manner outwardly from the loop. Each of the stems has a circular aperture, which are aligned. A steel reinforcement rod is provided within backfill soil. A steel threaded attachment rod is secured to and extends perpendicular from the reinforcement rod. The attachment rod also extends through the circular apertures of the connector. A screw nut is threaded on the attachment rod to thereby secure together the stems and the reinforcement rod.
