Slope reinforcement design using geotextiles and geogrids

Slope reinforcement design using geotextiles and geogrids

A geotextile is defined by ASTM as: any permeable textile material used with foundation, soil, rock, earth, or any other geotechnical engineering related material, as a integral part of a man-made project, structure, or system. A geogrid is defined as: any geotextile-related material used in a simil...
