Abstract:This paper presents the field evaluation of large scale prototypes of an innovative composite geosynthetic reinforced earth (CGRE) structure as an alternative for the conventional earth retaining structures, hence a green engineering design for riverbank slope protection. This reinforced earth structure comprises of a geogrid that serves as the main reinforcement and the cover of the facing member of the structure; and a geotextile as separator medium between the infill soil and intermediate horizontal gravel … Show more
