AW <br />USe&APPUCATIONS <br />Embankment slopes incorpoiating Miragrid <br />can be built sleeper than conventional earth ­ <br />work construction techniques normally allow <br />(usually 2.1). Multiple layers of Miragnd laid <br />horizontally during slope constructior. inter­ <br />sect all potential failure planes due to th€ <br />steepened slope. Thus providing tensile <br />strength aiong the failure plane to increase <br />Its overall factor c‘ safety against sliding, as <br />shown below. Design procedures are avail ­ <br />able to determine specific geogrid layout. <br />t <br />1 <br />.w7* • • <br />■ I- W ' <br />^^Steep Embankments : <br />' THE <br />The Miragrid Difference, Slopes: Miragrid j <br />reinforced slopes generally reduce land .i <br />acquisition costs, provide “more useable J <br />area at the slope crest or loe.'eliminate l <br />retaining walls or kwver site'developrfient <br />costs.
