Abstract

AbstractApplication of geosynthetic materials is widely spread on the Balkans in the last decade. Applications of these materials are usually related to slope stabilizations, landslides rehabilitation, embankments, improvement of foundation soil etc. Most of the experience for designing and application of geosynthetic materials in Macedonia was gained also in last decade. The ‘Geing Krebs und Kiefer International’ company has contributed significantly in the designing of many structures which involve geosynthetics. This paper presents the most significant structures designed by Geing Krebs und Kiefer which are considered in top projects on such structures in Macedonia. The structures presented in this paper mostly involve geogrids, reinforced soil systems (wire meshes and gabions) and gabions. Special attention is paid to the reinforced soil systems which are commonly used for construction of embankments and rehabilitation of landslides in the projects prepared by Geing Krebs und Kiefer. Design and construction aspects for each structure are presented in this paper.
