Every year, the University of Alberta Geotechnical Centre and the Geotechnical Society of Edmonton (GSE) invite students and industry to compete in a fun Applied Geotechnical Design Exercise: the Reinforced Wall Competition. Six teams will bring the best wall design and strength prediction to the game in this event. Would it be the one with the strongest wall? Or the one with the closest prediction? Or even the one with the best presentation? Join us in this fun applied exercise!
Learn more about the history of this event here.
Six Teams will have 1 hour to construct a reinforced soil wall using only 5 sheets of newspaper, 2 sheets of 15x30 cm geotextile, 100 paper clips and 20 popsicle sticks.
