ABSTRACT
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.
