Reinforced Earth

Reinforced Earth is a technique used in construction to build strong, stable structures like walls and embankments. It involves combining soil with layers of reinforcing materials such as geogrids or steel strips, which provide additional strength and stability. These reinforcements help the soil resist forces like pressure from traffic or water, preventing it from collapsing or shifting. By distributing the load more effectively, reinforced earth structures are safer, more durable, and often more cost-effective than traditional reinforced concrete or retaining walls. This method is widely used in infrastructure projects like highways, bridges, and embankments.
