The use of polyester geogrids, in the reinforcement of asphalt layers, is an innovative solution that offers multiple advantages in the performance of pavement structures. These control the reflection of cracking, generate an increase in the fatigue life of the asphalt layers and reduce the cost...

To achieve the optimal performance of a structure reinforced with geotextiles, it is vital to develop an adequate construction process, taking into account the recommendations for the handling, transport and storage of the geotextile. If you want to know the best practices to build the reinforcement of subgrades with geotextiles, Eng. Juan Pablo…

Although there are a variety of alternatives, the FORTEX geotextile is very useful for this application, thanks to its mechanical and hydraulic properties. By meeting all the demands required by the reinforcement of subgrades, it allows the control of deformations, achieving a superior reinforcement effect, compared to geotextiles...

The use of geotextiles for the reinforcement of subgrades allows the development of solutions that facilitate the construction process and, at the same time, optimize costs and improve the performance of road projects that present soils with low mechanical competence. Geotextiles provide an immediate reinforcement capacity and have technical properties that…

Design And Construction Of Structures In Soil Reinforced With Geosynthetics Retaining structures in soil reinforced with geosynthetics have positioned themselves as a cost-efficient solution for the development of different applications, among them, the reduction of fill and the reconformation of slopes. To ensure stability, durability and efficiency…

  The application of retaining walls in reinforced soil is convenient in areas where the surface to intervene is limited, or requires a quick and efficient execution. By including reinforcing elements such as geogrids in the soil masses, the properties of the structure are improved. Good…

Reinforced soil retaining walls represent an efficient solution, compared to other alternatives; however, to guarantee its quality during the service period, it is necessary to involve a sub-drainage system. Excess water affects the parameters of resistance and durability, which is why we emphasize…

Geogrid-reinforced soil retaining walls are a construction alternative to traditional concrete solutions, which have multiple benefits during the construction process and throughout the service life of the structure. Nevertheless; To take advantage of this construction alternative, it is necessary…

For the development of retaining walls in soil reinforced with geosynthetics, it is important to understand the benefits offered by uniaxial geogrids, compared to geotextiles. Geotextiles are generic materials developed for engineering works in different applications; however, not specifically for the formation of walls…
