2. Mechanically stabilized earth - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mechanically_stabilized_earth

   The first geosynthetic-reinforced soil walls were built in France in 1970 and 1971. [5] Geosynthetic-reinforced walls have been in use in the United States since 1974. Bell and Steward (1977) describe some of these early applications, which were primarily geotextile wrapped-face walls supporting logging roads in the northwestern United States. [6]

   Walls also can be used for lining channels and in cases of high flow, it is required that the outer cells contain concrete or cement slurry infill. CCS have been used to reinforce soft or uneven soil foundations for large area footings, for retaining wall strip footings, for load sharing of covers over pipelines and other geotechnical applications.

4. Geosynthetics - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geosynthetics

   Clogging or bioclogging of geotextiles, geonets, geopipe and/or geocomposites is a challenging design for certain soil types or unusual situations. For example, loess soils, fine cohesionless silts, highly turbid liquids, and microorganism laden liquids (farm runoff) are troublesome and generally require specialized testing evaluations.

5. Revetment - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Revetment

   Asphalt and sandbag revetment with a geotextile filter. A revetment in stream restoration, river engineering or coastal engineering is a facing of impact-resistant material (such as stone, concrete, sandbags, or wooden piles) applied to a bank or wall in order to absorb the energy of incoming water and protect it from erosion.

6. Geonets - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geonets

   While quite different in the manufacture or configuration than geonets are competitive geosynthetic products called geospacers. Their drainage cores consists of nubs, columns, cuspations, or 3-D networks of stiff polymer strands. They are generally used for drainage behind retaining walls, plaza decks or green roofs. [1] Various categories of ...

7. Retaining wall - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Retaining_wall

   Drystone retaining walls are normally self-draining. As an example, the International Building Code requires retaining walls to be designed to ensure stability against overturning, sliding, excessive foundation pressure and water uplift; and that they be designed for a safety factor of 1.5 against lateral sliding and overturning.
