Abstract

The term Reinforced Earth is referred to as strengthening the soil by inclusion of artificial reinforcement elements, in the form of strips, bars, grids, or sheets fabricated or manufactured from metals or geosynthetics. The reinforcement restrains the tensile deformations of the soil and thus increases the overall performance of the composite soil through interfacial bond resistance, but limited by its own tensile strength. Some of the numerous applications of reinforced earth or soil structures include retaining walls, embankments, subgrades beneath the pavements, etc. Owing to the flexibility of reinforced structures, they can withstand large displacements and are found to perform better under seismic conditions.
