Sustainability Study on Geosynthetic Reinforced Retaining Wall Construction
Geotechnical engineering is the most resource-demanding sub-discipline of civil engineering and considerably impacts the sustainable development of infrastructure. The design and construction of retaining walls play a vital role in geotechnical engineering practices around the world in the development and maintenance of infrastructure. Geosynthetics are an emerging construction material for geotechnical structures (retaining walls, road and railway embankments, unpaved roads, steep slopes, etc.), ground improvement projects, erosion control, drainage and filtration control around geotechnical structures, landfills, etc. This paper presents the evaluation of sustainability for a traditional cantilever retaining wall and a geotextile-reinforced retaining wall using the resource consumption indicator of sustainability matrix. The silty sand base material and dense gravel as backfill material have been considered for this study. The quantitative framework has been established for the suitability of traditional concrete and the geotextile-reinforced walls. It was concluded that geotextile-reinforced retaining wall with wrap-around facing is more resource efficient, economical and durable.
