  • Publication number: 20120020745
    Abstract: A self-supporting earth facing module has a tubular sock to be filled with compost or fill material and a geogrid sheet which wraps around the circumference of the tubular sock with upper and lower extensions extending lengthwise to one side of the sock. The geogrid sheet is joined by a high-strength seam to the circumference of the sock. The module forms an integrated unit that can be used to form sequenced horizontal earth layers and serve as facing for a geosynthetically stabilized earth wall or slope. The sock may be vegetation-supportive and have built-in connectable irrigation tubing. The modules are installed in consecutive vertical lifts with a granular interlock zone to provide a connection medium for tying adjacent modules to each other and to the reinforced soil zone, and which may include connection to supplemental geogrids that extend the width of the reinforced zone for taller slopes and walls.
