  • SOIL REINFORCEMENT STRIP AND GRID
    Publication number: 20230399810
    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).

  • Method of manufacturing a facing element for a reinforced soil structure
    Patent number: 11391009
    Abstract: A void former is arranged in a mold (30). The void former includes an insert (1) made of flexible material that forms a loop around a core region (15) within the mold. Casting material is added in a fluid state into the mold so as to fill a predefined volume for the facing element, including the core region. After hardening of the casting material, the facing element (10) is removed from the mold, and the void former is removed from the facing element. The facing element comprises an anchoring core formed by the hardened casting material in the core region (15). Removing the void former comprises pulling the insert (1) away from a rear surface of the facing element (10). The flexible material of the at least one insert is deformed around the anchoring core (15) while it is pulled.
