damage test results were consistent with
the initial design assumptions, and, hence,
the vertical spacing between the primary
reinforcement geogrid was reverted to the
original design spacing of 18 inches (46
cm). This being a design-built project,
working closely with the contractor was
important to promptly amend the design
to account for the variations during construction. Figure 11 shows a typical cross

and flexibility of the structure. Tall geogrid
reinforced soil structures should be
designed with project-specific consideration of geogrid installation damage,
long-term geogrid characteristics (creep
and durability) and soil-geogrid interaction behavior. G

Conclusion
Compared to conventional soil-retaining
structures, reinforced soil structures have
obvious and significant benefits, including
cost-effectiveness, simplicity of the construction technique, speed of construction
