soil reinforcement

They are now used throughout the world for soil reinforcement applications.

For reinforced-soil gravity walls, the soil reinforcement is placed in horizontal layers throughout the height of the wall.

Stiff polymer geogrids and geocells do not have to be held in tension to provide soil reinforcement, unlike geotextiles.

Commonly, the soil reinforcement is geogrid, a high-strength polymer mesh, that provide tensile strength to hold soil together.

These state-of-the-art geogrid soil reinforcement and slope stabilisation techniques were employed as traditional retaining structures and embankments were ruled out as being unfeasible.

Geogrids are structural synthetic materials used in slope veneer stability to create stability for cover soils over synthetic liners or as soil reinforcement in steep slopes.

Soil Reinforcement and Levee Protection - USACE Cellular Confinement technology (geocells) are prominently supported and promoted as a recommended BMP by the USACE itself.

GSLOPE - provides limit equilibrium slope stability analysis of existing natural slopes, unreinforced man-made slopes, or slopes with soil reinforcement, using Bishop's Modified method and Janbu's Simplified method applied to circular, composite or non-circular surfaces.
