What is ISO/TR 18228-7 about?
ISO/TR 18228-7 is the third part of the multi-series standard. ISO/TR 18228-7 provides general considerations to support the design guidance to geotechnical and civil engineers involved in the design of structures in which a geotextile is used as a filter.
The key potential failure mechanisms are described, and guidance is proposed to select engineering properties.
Reinforcement applications considered in ISO/TR 18228-7 include:
Reinforced fill structures to create:
- vertical, battered or inclined earth retaining walls
- load bearing structures like bridge abutments
- reinforced steep slopes
Basal reinforcement for embankments in various situations:
- embankments in soft soils,
- embankments on network of vertical inclusions of multiple nature
- embankments overbridging voids
Veneer reinforcement:
- landfill closures
- shallow slope remediation
Who is ISO/TR 18228-7 for?
ISO/TR 18228-7 on reinforcement in geosynthetics is useful for:
- Geotechnical engineers
- Civil engineers
- Public and private contractors
Why should you use ISO/TR 18228-7?
Reinforcement of geotextiles is based on the application of a tensile element and the interaction between the tensile elements and the soil mass to enhance the properties of fill soils either imported or in situ. ISO/TR 18228-7 contains a summary of several worldwide codes and their recommended applications for geosynthetic reinforcement.
ISO/TR 18228-7 lets you explore the various possible designs and structures while guiding you through the process of installations.
To test tensile capacity, reduction factors and design strength, ISO/TR 18228-7 provides you with necessary references.
The design life of a structure essentially defines the design strength properties of the reinforcing
elements. Altogether ISO/TR 18228-7 helps you achieve efficiency with respect to the reinforcement of soil and below ground structures using geosynthetics. This helps establish durable and reliable structures basis several site-specific factors. As a result, with these standardized guidelines you will be able to acquire global acceptance and credibility in field of geotechnical engineering and design.
