Reinforced soil walls.
In recentyears,engineers have made a consider-
able effortto develop economical methods fordesign-
ing and constructing retaining walls. One of the
methods that has been successfully used by the U.S.
Forest Service,the New York DOT,the Idaho DOT and
the Colorado DOT is using a geotextile, especially a
nonwoven needlepunched fabric, to encapsulate a
granular drainable backfill.
Reinforced soil walls offer the following benefits:

retaining wall methods. I
•Easily constructed with conventional construc-
tion equipment and materials.
•Protective facing is easily applied.
