Abstract: A soil reinforcement strip (10, 30) for mechanically stabilizing earth structures. The strip (10, 30) has a polymer matrix (12, 32) which envelops elongated steel elements (14, 34) for reinforcing the matrix (12, 32). The steel elements (14, 34) may be steel cords containing a plurality of steel filaments (20, 22, 40, 42). Additionally, a reinforcement grid (60) for soil and ground. Furthermore, applications of this reinforcement strip (10, 30) and grid (60), namely to a reinforced soil layer (80) and to a mechanically stabilized earth structure or retaining wall (82).

Abstract: A steel wire netting (100, 200) is adapted to be used in erosion control, in geotechnical solutions, in rockfall protection or in aquaculture. The steel wire netting (100, 200) comprises steel wires (300). These steel wires (300) have a steel core (302). The steel core (302) is of a low-carbon or high-carbon nature. The steel wires (300) further have an intermediate metallic coating (306) of zinc or an zinc aluminium alloy or a zinc aluminium magnesium alloy on the steel core (302). The steel wires (300) further have a top coating of a polymer (310). This polymer (310) is a high density polyethylene.
