Slopes are structures that, due to their characteristics, cause problems such as landslides, weathering, erosion or even subsidence. For the design of erosion control works on a slope it is necessary to carry out a very complete analysis of the geological, geotechnical, environmental and hydrological conditions to ensure the behaviour of the slope once it has been built. In this e-book we are going to know two materials very used in the reinforcement of slopes.
Geogrids and geocells are essential elements to prevent erosion and subsidence of slopes and to encourage the creation of plant cover. In this book, we will deal with the different types of geogrids and geocells and how to select them properly according to your project, as well as the installation process you should proceed with both materials.
