Using the tensile properties of a geosyntheic material resists stresses or contains deformations in Geotechnical structures. ( IGS Terminology )
Reinforcement may be incorporated in engineering fill, or inserted into natural ground either to provide steeper slopes than would otherwise be possible or to improve load carrying capacity. Reinforcement may also be used to improve the performance of weak soils to support embankments or other resilent structures. ( Reference:BSI Standard ) |
