Application: SLOPE REINFORCEMENT |
|
|
|
|
|
|
General |
|
For new construction, the cost of fill, right-of-way, and other consideration may make a steeper slope desirable.
|
|
Problem |
|
|
|
Even if foundation conditions are satisfactory, the unreinforced slopes may be unstable at the desired slope angle. Additionally, surface sloughing and erosion can occur at the edges of the slope.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Solution |
|
|
|
In order to built steep slopes with an acceptable factor of safety to the construction needs either a good quality soil or horizontal reinforcing layers to prevent a sliding failure. Multiple layers of geotextile/geogrid placed in a slope during construction or reconstruction will reinforce the soil and provide increased slope stability.
|
|
Without geotextile steep slopes may collapse |
With geotextile stable earth retaining structure are easily constructed |
|
|
Performance benefits of material |
|
- Increases the safety factor of marginally stable slopes
- Allows the use of less select in-situ soils as fill Reduces the amount of fill material and land required and hence the cost
- Allows construction of wider roads, without increasing necessary right-of-way, by replacing gentle slopes with reinforced, steep slopes
- Allows the construction of vertical soil structures

Areas of Application |
|
- Reinforced soil walls and slopes
- Road embankment
- Widening of existing road embankment
- Bridge approach and abutments
- Repair of failed slopes
