Abstract
In recent years considerable research has been carried out in the field of Reinforced Earth Technology. A lot of literature is available based upon British Standard code. B.S.8006:1995. Code of practice for 'Strengthened/reinforced soils and other fills'. This code contains guidelines and recommendations for the application of reinforcement techniques to soils, as fill or in situ, and to other fills. This code also provides guidelines for safety margins in terms of partial material factors and load factors for various application and design lives.In recent years Systematic investigation has been carried out to determine the economy in soil reinforced wall as compare to conventional retaining wall. Result indicate that there are vast scope and need for these materials for developing country like India. Development of Geosynthetic materials are major contribution of technology in this century. Inclusion of polymer based grids or nets in civil engineering industry are also a significant development as a construction material and have added a complete new dimension to engineering problem solving. So here in this paper I m going to highlight few points regarding "Feasibility and cost effectiveness of Reinforced Earth Construction works".
