  2. Geosynthetics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geosynthetics

    Most factories are ISO 9000 certified and have their own in-house quality programs as well. The low thickness of geosynthetics, as compared to their natural soil counterparts, is an advantage insofar as light weight on the subgrade, less airspace used, and avoidance of quarried sand, gravel, and clay soil materials.

  3. Geofoam - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geofoam

    Inert: Geofoam will not break down, so it will not spread into surrounding soils. This means that geofoam will not pollute the surrounding soil. Geofoam can also be dug up and reused. Decreases construction time: Geofoam is quick to install and can be installed during any type of weather, resulting in faster installation time.

  4. Fill dirt - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fill_dirt

    Fill dirt is taken from a location where soil is being removed as a part of leveling an area for construction; it may also contain sand, rocks, and stones, as well as earth. Fill dirt should be as free of organic matter as possible since organic matter will decompose creating pockets of empty space within the fill which could result in settling ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cellular_confinement

    CCS provides geomembrane liner protection, while creating stable soil, berms and slopes, for non-slip protection and durable impoundment of liquids and waste. [39] Infill treatment depends on the contained materials: concrete for ponds and reservoirs; gravel for landfill drainage and leachates , vegetated infill for landscape rehabilitation.

  6. Slope stability analysis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slope_stability_analysis

    The engineer must fully understand limitations of each technique. For example, limit equilibrium is most commonly used and simple solution method, but it can become inadequate if the slope fails by complex mechanisms (e.g. internal deformation and brittle fracture, progressive creep, liquefaction of weaker soil layers, etc

  9. Geotechnical engineering - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geotechnical_engineering

    Subsurface exploration usually involves in-situ testing (for example, the standard penetration test and cone penetration test). The digging of test pits and trenching (particularly for locating faults and slide planes) may also be used to learn about soil conditions at depth. Large-diameter borings are rarely used due to safety concerns and ...
