Study of Cost Effectiveness of Reinforced Earth Wall Over Conventional Retaining Wall Considering Different Heights

Reinforced Earth Wall RE Wall is an internally stabilized wall. Reinforced earth is a composite material formed by the friction between the earth and the reinforcement. By means of friction the soil transfers to the reinforcement the forces built up in the earth mass. The reinforcement thus develops tension and the earth behaves as if it has cohesion.Significant increase in the traffic and congestion across urban areas creates a demand for a better, efficient and economical soil retention system for bridges, underpasses, flyover and any other type of grade separator so the reduce the cost of the construction also to make structure more durable, reduce problem of the construction following points as has been studied. The objective of this study is to study the Cost Effectiveness between Retaining wall and Reinforced Earth Wall at different heights. The economic benefit achieved from the Reinforced Earth Wall increases with the increase in the height of the wall. Further, RE wall can be made more cost economical by using the combinations of different types of Geo grid and back fill material based on the soil and loading conditions Sami Raj Sahu | Deeksha Shrotriya | Barun Kumar "Study of Cost Effectiveness of Reinforced Earth Wall Over Conventional Retaining Wall Considering Different Heights" Published in International Journal of Trend in Scientific Research and Development (ijtsrd), ISSN: 2456-6470, Volume-5 | Issue-6 , October 2021, URL: https://www.ijtsrd.com/papers/ijtsrd47577.pdf Paper URL : https://www.ijtsrd.com/engineering/civil-engineering/47577/study-of-cost-effectiveness-of-reinforced-earth-wall-over-conventional-retaining-wall-considering-different-heights/sami-raj-sahu
