Reinforced earth is an expression used by specialized soil reinforcement companies that refers to the combination of geotechnical and structural engineering principles. History of Soil Reinforcement
Modern Structures The modern concept of the soil reinforcement and soil structure was proposed by Casagrande. The modern form of earth reinforcement was introduced by Vidal in the 1960s. Vidals concept
Application of
Soil
Reinforcement There are many applications of soil reinforcement such as :
Bridge abutments. Bridge abutments with piled bankseat. Sloping bridge abutments. Embankments. Dams.

Advantages andDisadvantagesofSoil ReinforcementAdvantages of Soil Reinforcement1. Allow in-situ strengthening on existing slope surface.2. Allow excellent working space in front of the excavation face.3. Avoid unnecessary temporary works.4. Only requires light machinery and equipment.
Disadvantages of Soil Reinforcement1. Less suitable for course grained soil and soft clayey soil.2. Suitable only for excavation above groundwater.Mechanically Stabilized Retaining WallGeneral DefinitionIt is a new Geotechnical technology that uses reinforcement materials to reinforce the backfill of retaining walls.Construction ComponentsMetallic Facing System. reinforcement.Facing Connection.Backfill Materials.
