Abstract:

The present work consists in the application of reinforced geocells with uniaxial geogrids for the construction of reinforced soil walls with flexible façades and that allows the vegetation that are required completions in the environmental recovery of mining works. It is an environmental civil application based on physical, chemical and biological stability concepts that was developed during the design stage and concluded at the construction stage.

In this way, this work includes a referential framework in which the context, the environment and the background for the design of reinforced soil walls and the environmental recovery of sectors intervened by the mining industry, both in the design stage, are observed. procurement and construction and operation of the solution, as well as a theoretical framework where each of these concepts will be defined based on substantiated fundamentals.

The methodology used to carry out the design was the analysis of physical-chemical-environmental stability and even economic and functional, to support the advantages of the solution of reinforced geocells with respect to conventional solutions of earthworks or works of armed concrete. The functionality and durability of the solution proposal were also analyzed, including integration of revegetation and drainage to ensure the integrity of the application. 

The results of the design and construction allowed demonstrating the functionality, stability and innovation of the use of geogrids reinforced with geogrids in the recovery of civil-environmental works for the mining industry. Once again the use of geosynthetics demonstrates its credibility in its use for the development of works in the desired field and sector
