Synopsis
Soil erosion because of slope instability is a chronic issue nowadays, undermining local environment and human settlements. The unpredictability of rainfall and adverse weather events make the environment increasingly vulnerable, jeopardizing human activities, interrupting roads and railway links; the economic impacts can be significant. Hydrogeological hazards with greater frequency fill the headlines today. Taking action to protect and stabilize unstable slopes and the soils upon them is by now an essential component of territorial planning: the stability of grounds upon how much of human activity is something that we can’t take for granted anymore.
The construction industry is the top global consumer of raw materials, contributing 25% to 30% world’s carbon emissions. Therefore, sustainable option on retaining wall is crucial for the client to minimizing concrete and steel structures on their system, at the same time, to increase cost effectiveness and performances on construction lead times. Public awareness regarding requirements on environmental quality solution is dramatically increasing, less concrete more green solutions based is implemented in most of the development scheme as nowadays trends, sustainable engineering solution on retaining wall system becoming equally important on reducing carbon imprint emission, with the option to green and eliminate concrete usage.
