Though the mechanically stabilized earth wall abutment can be minimalized different set-tlements, it is continuously receiving dead loads and traffic loads. So time-dependent long-term settlement can occur. Hence, assessments on the long-term settlement of the MSEW abutment reviewed on this study. The hyperbolic model and the Singh-Mitchell model were reviewed for estimating long-term set-tlements. The Singh-Mitchell model cannot determine the creep termination period or the final creep amount, which causes an unrealistic excessive settlement. Contrary, the hyperbolic model is converged to time and can be more realistic model for estimating long-term settlement.
