REINFORCED SOIL SYSTEMS IN EMBANKMENTS - CONSTRUCTION PRACTICES ---PROCEEDINGS OF THE INTERNATIONAL SYMPOSIUM ON THEORY AND PRACTICE OF EARTH REINFORCEMENT, FUKUOKA, KYUSHU, JAPAN, 5-7 OCTOBER 1988

Extensive experience has shown that reinforced soil techniques are very effective in the construction of embankments over soft foundations. The paper uses case studies to examine the construction details of three separate systems which use the range of 'tensar' polymer grids as reinforcement. Reinforced soil is also used in the repair of slip failures in embankments and cuttings. Case studies are again used to discuss construction methods and comparative costs.(a) for the covering abstract of the symposium see IRRD 818063.
