The invention provides a method and components for producing an improved reinforced soil embankment wall. In particular, the invention provides mechanical soil reinforcements having a substantially straight center portion and a frictional bearing structure on both ends. This structure minimizes the lateral force exerted on the connection between the facing wall and the reinforcement by the downward force of the settling earth on the reinforcement by providing a straight portion for passing substantially through the zone of maximum force. Frictional reinforcement and anchoring is obtained by using a frictional bearing structure on each end of the reinforcement to reinforce the outer zones within a reinforced soil enbankment wall. Pressure on the facing wall can be further relieved either by using a sinusoidal frictional bearing structure or by connecting the reinforcement to the facing wall using a connector which can stretch or otherwise relieve tension. The invention also provides improved facing wall panels and connecting means for attaching mechanical soil reinforcements to facing walls.
