Roadway Reinforcement: Geosynthetics require attention to project design and installation
A failed pavement isn’t a welcome sight, particularly during our current uncertain transportation funding. So it’s increasingly important that road builders use methods that can allow roads to be built faster, stronger and be made to last longer. Using geosynthetic materials is one way of prolonging pavement. These come in two primary forms: a geogrid, […]

Stability Analysis Key To Designing Successful MSE Structures
Installing an SRW properly will avoid a range of problems and costly corrections. Here’s how to do it. by Gabriela Mariscal, Geotechnical Engineer, National Concrete Masonry Association Modular block walls, or segmental retaining walls (SRWs) are a type of mechanically stabilized earth (MSE) structure built with mortarless concrete block facing commonly reinforced with geosynthetics. Because […]
