Geosynthetic-Reinforced Soil Walls and Slopes: European Perspectives
This paper provides a brief review of developments and current perspectives of reinforced soil structures and slopes in Europe. A number of innovations and studies in reinforced soil technology have been introduced in recent years. Improved reinforcing materials have been introduced which include new forms of conventional geogrid reinforcements, composite materials providing combined drainage and reinforcement, and electrically conductive reinforcements. Research has resulted in a better understanding of the residual creep strength of geosynthetic materials and the influence of a seismic event on the long-term strength of geosynthetic reinforcement. Analytical methods continue to be developed and the use of reinforced soil in construction is being promoted by the introduction of new International and National Codes of Practice. This report provides details of these developments.
