Objective of the project • The objective is to design reinforced earth retaining structures using different types of Geosynthetics
Metallic strip • Reinforced-earth walls are flexible walls. Their main components are: • Backfill, which is granular soil • Reinforcing strips, which are thin, wide strips placed at regular intervals, and • A cover or skin, on the front face of the wall
Geogrid • Geogrids can also be used as reinforcement in granular backfill for the construction of retaining walls • Relatively few field measurements are available for lateral earth pressure on retaining walls constructed with geogrid reinforcement.
