Geostrap® & Ecostrap™ Reinforcements For MSE Structures. A New Approach To Geosynthetic Soil Reinforcement

Ramirez A. and Rosler I.

This paper discusses the use of new geosynthetic solutions for soil reinforcements reviewing the whole process from design through to the construction stage.

Recent developments in high strength polyester (PET) GeoStrap® and polyvinyl alcohol (PVA-L) EcoStrapTM soil reinforcements, combined with GeoMega® Sleeve, a new method for connecting geosynthetic reinforcements to concrete facing panels, offers durable design solutions for Mechanically Stabilized Earth (MSE) structures located in sea water and aggressive environments.
