A FRAM-TYPE REINFORCING PROCEDURE USING GEOGRIDS

Abstract

For reinforcing procedure of retaining wall using Geogrids, Geogrids, in general, are wrapped around successive lifts of sandbags. This procedure, however, may result in changes in the slope of wall facings, etc. for the settlement due to consolidation and/or extrusion of soils by the compaction. In addition, many labours are required for this procedure.
To cope with this problem, a new frame-type procedure has been developed and been put to practical use. This report summerizes its background and procedure.
