Confinement and formation of platforms with geogrids
CONFINEMENT AND CONFORMATION OF PATHS WITH GEOMETRICS AND GEOTEXTILES As an alternative to the traditional confinement system of structures such as platforms in public spaces with space limitations, geosynthetics present an efficient solution, which allows a rapid construction process, finishing and durability without the need for materials. traditional like concrete and steel. In this case,…

GEOTEXTILES FOR SUBGRADE REINFORCEMENT Geotextiles in soft soils Soft soils present significant challenges in pavement construction, as they typically have low load-bearing capacity and may experience excessive settlement or deformation under applied loads. To address these problems, various solutions can be implemented such as the use of polyester geotextiles of…

MANCHES FOR EROSION CONTROL IN DIKES Concrete dams A dam is a structure made of concrete, stone or selected earth material that is built with the objective of containing water, preventing its passage. They can be built perpendicular or parallel to the watercourse that is intended to be contained. In dams formed from…
