Components of the geogrid reinforced soil wall system and its implementation

Geogrid is a mesh of polyethylene in the form of rolls that spread between the base layers and increase the strength of soil cohesion and is used for several purposes, including retaining walls, slopes, soft soil, road works, and in this post we will try to identify the method of implementing reinforced soil walls through Using the Reinforcement-Retaing-Walls geogrid.

Until recently, the use of retaining walls was the best option in order to bear the oblique pressures that occur from the different levels of the land or water, whether ground or surface, as they can be considered earth dams that show their details in this wall and the main forces affecting it; But recently, most engineers have resorted to using the geogrid reinforced soil system as an alternative to dispensing with the traditional retaining walls of the soil due to its high cost. It has become one of the best engineering alternatives.
