Geosynthetics Application
Geogrid Reinforced Retaining Walls
Retaining walls are engineering structures manufactured to keep the ground at steeper angles than the natural slope and to prevent landslides, especially on sloping lands.
Retaining structures provide many benefits such as erosion and flood protection in coastal areas, stream and canal edges, acting as side pillars in bridges and approaches, holding deep excavations and structures, safe grading on sloping lands, increasing slope stability.
As a general definition, a retaining wall (retaining wall) is a structure that keeps the changes in the ground surface in a nearly vertical plane and is used to prevent the ground from moving with its natural slope angle.
