Reinforced soil structures are both economically and technically very advantageous over their conventional counterparts, especially under poor soil conditions, and also when there are space and property line limitations. Moreover, reinforced soil structures provide numerous other indirect savings and conveniences, such as speedy construction time, ease in construction methods, graceful appearances, etc. In this presentation, a systematic method of determining the possible cost of a reinforced soil-retaining wall is described, and an estimate of cost breakdown is given on the basis of height and length of the retaining wall. Relative economy of reinforced soils, in comparison with conventional and other types of retaining walls, is also discussed. For purposes of illustration, several case studies of cost analyses and numerical examples are also included. |
