Abstract |
Retaining structures are often used to avoid damage to the structures under loads of natural ground slope. Gabion type retaining structures constitute one of the most economical and efficient solutions for stabilization of natural ground slope. Gabion walls are also preferred for the efficiency of the drainage instead of gravity walls. The present paper is a summary of definition, types, areas of use and advantages of gabion elements. Keywords— Retaining structures, Gabion Walls, Raw Material, Natural Ground Slope. | |||||||||
