Comparative Study of a Geogrid and a Geotextile Reinforced Embankments
Geogrid Passes Louisiana Levee Test
Florida Project Shows New Use for Geogrids
Use of Geogrids on Soft Deposits
The construction of highway embankments over soft and waste deposits required the use of geogrids as an economical alternate to conventional methods of 'remove and replace'....
Geogrids Help Build Turnpike Shoulders
High-Rise Embankments
Embankments reinforced with geosynthetic materials are being built at increasing heights. Any wall over 20 ft is still generally considered high, but embankments of 40 ft with near vertical...
Finite Element Analyses of the St. Alban Test Embankments
Finite element analyses were performed of three embankments on sensitive clay that were constructed to failure at St. Alban, Quebec. One of the embankments was reinforced with flat-lying...
Laboratory Study of Geogrid Reinforced Soil Walls
The paper describes the construction and testing of three (3) large-scale geogrid reinforced soil retaining wall models. The models were 3 m high and were built in the RMC Retaining Wall...
The Heavy Duty Geogrid Wall
The geogrid reinforced soil retaining wall was a key component in reconstructing a small hydroelectric plant situated at the center of Cascade Dam in Michigan. It was necessary that the...
Geosynthetics for Soil Improvement
Geosynthetics have had a tremendous impact on various aspects of soil improvement. In a number of situations which previously had not been technically or economically feasible, geosynthetics...
