Geotextile mitigation works
Geotextile mitigation works In torrential events, the phenomenon of lateral erosion can occur on the banks of the rivers, causing the detachment and dragging of the material that generates overflow of the tributary, affecting the crops and properties surrounding the area. To have control, it is necessary to implement mitigation works with geotextiles...

REINFORCED SOIL WALLS Simple geometry and reinforcement, reinforced soil walls with geogrids or geotextiles Reinforced soil walls are gravity containment structures, composed of the inclusion of different reinforcement elements such as geotextiles or geogrids to the soil mass, which provide important advantages to its mechanical resistance and…
Read morePavement reinforced with Geotextiles
PAVEMENT REINFORCED WITH GEOTEXTILES Problem to solve with geotextiles: The pavement structure presented pathologies associated with general fatigue and low bearing capacity of the subgrade soil, for which it was essential to find a solution to reinforce the pavement, geotextiles being ideal due to their characteristics . The structure to be intervened had the following characteristics:…
Read moreGeogrids – Effect of soil reinforcement
Effect of soil reinforcement with geogrids To demonstrate the effects of soil reinforcement with geogrids, the inclusion of multiple layers of uniaxial reinforcement geogrids in a soil mass is used, improving its mechanical behavior and reducing its deformations. The apparent cohesion and confinement provided by the geogrid in the mass of…

Protection works with geosynthetics proposed to execute for the rehabilitation of the critical points of a dam against floods. Case: Dam reinforced with geotextiles The suggested protection alternative consists in the creation of a dam reinforced with FORTEX BX 650 woven geotextiles at the crown of the slope: geotextile tubes were installed at the base...
