The use of geo-textiles in MSE walls started after the beneficial effect of reinforcement with geo-textiles was noticed in highway embankments over weak sub grades. The first geo-textile reinforced wall was constructed in France in 1971, and the first structure of this type in the United States was constructed in 1974. Since about 1980, the use of geo-textiles in reinforced soil has increased significantly. The first wall to use this technology in the United States was built in 1972 on California State Highway 39, north east of Los Angeles. In the last 25 years, more than 23,000 Reinforced Earth structures representing over 70 million m2 (750 million ft2) of wall facing have been completed in 37 countries. More than 8,000 walls have been built in the United States since 1972. The highest wall constructed in the United States was of height 30 meters (98 feet)
