Stabilizing steep slopes that would otherwise be unstable without reinforcement.
Requirements for various facings, from rigid concrete panels to flexible geogrid wraps.
The standard provides recommendations for the use of materials where existing standards are available, covering both geosynthetics and steel soil reinforcement.

In modern geotechnical and civil engineering, the ability to strengthen soil to support heavy loads is essential, particularly in infrastructure projects where land is limited or soil conditions are poor. is the premier British standard providing guidelines, recommendations, and design methods for the application of reinforced soil techniques.
It provides the exact partial load and material factors required for Eurocode-compliant calculations.
The standard is broadly divided into three main structural categories: Retaining Walls and Abutments:
