Geotextile-feinforced soil retaining wall for Hetaoyu Mine coal processing plant

摘要

Reinforcement geotextiles were used to reinforce locally available loess soil fill in the construction of an extensive retaining wall supporting a new coal processing plant at the Hetaoyu Coal Mine Complex in China. The wall construction was completed within the allotted schedule, and the geotextile-reinforced soil retaining wall system resulted in significant cost savings compared to other options that were evaluated.
