Reinforced earth in pipeline construction

Results of researches on reinforced earth application in pipeline construction in Russia are given. Reinforcing interlayers based on rubber-cloth tapes provide pipelines stabilization on swamped and flooded territories, water erosion protection, increase the bearing capacity of filled bases. Method of basic parameters of reinforcing arrangements determination are suggested as well as fields of their application. The practical application of the developments in various regions of Russia corroborates the validity of arrangements suggested.
