ConceptRetaining walls are required where a soil slope is uneconomical or not technicallyfeasible. When compared with conventional retaining structures, walls with reinforcedbackfills offer significant advantages. They are very cost effective, especially for higher walls. Furthermore, these systems are more flexible than conventional earth retaining walls such as reinforced concrete cantilever

Concept The first use of geosynthetics for the stabilization of steep slopes was for the reinstatement of failed slopes. Cost savings resulted because the slide debris could be reused in the repaired slope (together with geosynthetic reinforcement), rather than importing select materials to reconstruct the slope. Even if foundation conditions are satisfactory, costs of fill and right-of-way

ConceptThe design and construction of embankments on soft foundation soils is a very challenging geotechnical problem. As noted by Leroueil and Rowe (2001), successful projects require a thorough subsurface investigation, properties determination, and settlement and stability analyses. If the settlements are too large or instability is likely, then some type of foundation soil improvement is

Geogrid technology has developed steadily since the products werefirst introduced in the early 1980’s. The initial geogrid products rapidlygained popularity within the civil engineering industry, principallydue to their ability to provide simple, cost-effective solutions in variousroadway and grade separation applications.They have gained widespread acceptance over the last 25 yearsas a solution

DefinitionGeosynthetics is the catch all term used to describe a range of generally synthetic products used to solve geotechnical problems. The term is generally regarded to encompass four main products: geotextiles, geonets/geogrids, geomembranes and geocomposites. The synthetic nature of the products make them suitable for use in the ground where high levels of durability are required. Needless
