Bridge abutments
The technology of soil reinforced with geosynthetics is also widely used in the area of bridge abutments. The main reasons are: lower cost compared to traditional monolithic retaining walls, quick construction time or possibility of application in difficult conditions such as areas with seismic or mining activity. Often the construction costs associated with the foundation of the structures are optimized, so in this case the technology of reinforced soil brings great benefits.
The reinforced soil technology finds wide application in construction of:
