HYBRID SOLUTIONS FOR ACHIEVING HIGH SLOPES FOR ROADS

Abstract

With increasing land prices and topographic complicated site conditions, structures made of reinforced soil with geogrids consistently represent an economic and ecologic alternative to conventional constructions methods like e.g. concrete retaining walls. The big flexibility of these structures, relating to the diversity of possible facing systems and the adaptability to in-site conditions is one of the major decision criterions for the geosynthetic construction technology. The presented project from Romania, ’’Bellevue Residence’’ Brașov represents a construction method which allowed a fast, economical and ecologic solution under the project specific conditions.
