TEXSOL: ALREADY MORE THAN 50 SUCCESSFUL APPLICATIONS ---PROCEEDINGS OF THE INTERNATIONAL SYMPOSIUM ON THEORY AND PRACTICE OF EARTH REINFORCEMENT, FUKUOKA, KYUSHU, JAPAN, 5-7 OCTOBER 1988

The texsol method of soil reinforcement presented at the Las Vegas and Vienna conferences on geotextiles is now developing on many sites in France. The paper presents some significant applications and discusses the results of tests on various retaining structures and on the repeated loading behaviour of the material. Examples of applications include retaining walls on the a12 and a7 motorways, and the construction of a 4 m deep cut in a water bearing low plasticity clay slope. Texsol has also been used to repair a mountain slope slip failure with a 60 degree slope angle and a maximum height of 9 metres. For the covering abstract of the symposium see IRRD 818063.
