Abstract: A composite form for stabilizing an earthen embankment includes a floor section and a face section and is couplable to other like forms. The floor section includes integrally formed anchoring members for securing a geogrid with at least one anchoring rod. Advantageously, the face section of the form may included integrally formed hydroseeding screens. Also disclosed is a structure for stabilizing an earthen embankment, the structure comprising such a support form together with a geogrid anchored to the floor section of the form advantageously by a pair anchoring rods, an end portion of the geogrid being wrapped back and forth around the anchoring rods.

Abstract: A structure for stabilizing an earthen embankment comprises an embankment support for restraining movement of at least a part of the embankment, a flexible fiber geogrid (5) extending longitudinally through the embankment from a first end portion secured to the support to a second end portion, and anchor means (55, 60, 11) for securing one of the end portions. The anchor means comprises a pair of anchor rods (55, 60) extending transversely in relation to the geogrid, and means (11) for limiting movement of the anchor rods. The end portion secured by the anchor means is wrapped back and forth around the anchor rods so as to tighten thereon when the geogrid is pulled in longitudinal tension away from the anchor means. A method of anchoring a flexible fiber geogrid to a support utilizing such anchor rods is also disclosed.
