Welcome!

GeoWall at Berkeley is the only geotechnical engineering competition team in U.C Berkeley.

We design and build small-scale model mechanically stabilized Earth (MSE) retaining systems, completely out of paper, that will hold over 500lbs of sand and applied design loads!

Applying the principles of soil mechanics, reinforcement properties, and retaining system mechanics, our objective is to design our MSE retaining system with the minimum allowable quantity of kraft paper and reinforcements to endure soil and the design loads.

Each year, we compete in the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) Mid-Pacific Conference and the National Geo-Institute Conference.

MidPac ’25
