Practice and Research of Geosynthetic Reinforced Soil Walls in Australia

This chapter presents the practice and research of geosynthetic reinforced soil (GRS) walls in Australia. The discussion on GRS wall practice is restricted to projects under the jurisdiction of state road authorities (SRAs). The chapter describes how GRS walls for SRA projects have a relatively short history. However, innovation forms of GRS walls have been used in a number of milestone projects. This attests to the cost-effectiveness, versatility and strength of GRS walls.
