2023 Tensar x MRP Webinar Series 1: Reinforced Soil Slopes, Introduction and Experience from China
The webinar covers the design of reinforced soil slopes, including input parameters, design procedures, and geogrid reinforcement. It discusses building steep slopes using compacted fill and polymer geogrids, along with input parameters required for designing reinforced soil slopes. As Sindy and Mike explains the design process, geogrid properties, and the interaction factors of geogrids. The limitations and application of the analytical two part wedge method for designing reinforced soil slopes are also discussed. Additionally, it includes examples of reinforced soil structures in China, such as a mining project, a concrete crushing station, a landfill expansion, and a water station, highlighting the challenges and successful completion of each project.
