Synopsis of the seminar
Prospective technology for slopes reinforcement & Prospective technology for
embankments reinforcement on unstable grounds by Mr. Mescherin Igor
Viktorovich
In the 1st presentation we provide the basic knowledge of problems of the slopes
reinforcement with appliance of (conventional) three-dimensional geocells and
present new solution of a weld-free rolled geocell. In the 2nd presentation we provide
the basic knowledge of problems of application of (conventional) threedimensional
geocells in the structures subject to constant dynamic loads and present new solution
of a reinforced with extra-high strong fibers geocell.
Basic knowledge of geosynthetic products, its functions, applications and the design
of non-woven geotextile as a filter and separator by Mr. Kim Har Lian Yoon
This presentation provides the basic knowledge of design methodology into the
usage of geosynthetic products like nonwoven geotextile, woven geotextile and
geogrids either on soft ground or reinforced slope.
The objective of this presentation is to give participants an understanding of the
basic knowledge of using geosynthetic products and its application
• The basic terms used in defining nonwoven geotextile and woven
geotextile in general specification like tensile strength, water permeability
etc
• the different type of geosynthetic products available in the market and their
functions like non-woven and woven geotextiles,
For green environment using Geocell, Geosynthetic clay liner (GCL), Erosion
Control mat and coir-log to reduce rain water surface runoff.
For reinforced slope system using geogrid wall or omega wall system.
For marine works using of geotextile bags and geotextile tubes
For river bank protection using Sand filled Mattress or Concrete Mattress.
For soft ground using Prefabricated Vertical Drain (PVD) to quicken the
process of consolidation of the ground and hence the overall settlement of
the platform.
Step by step knowledge on the design of non-woven geotextile as a filter and
a separator.
Part I: The use of high strength geosynthetic reinforcement in soil improvement and
land reclamation &Part II: Geosynthetic concrete formworks in hydraulic and
energy applications by Ms. Marie-Therese Hortmann
Part I: This presentation focusses on the definition, design and construction with hig
h strength geosynthetic woven geotextiles and grids for soil improvement and land r
eclamation with short term tensile strength over 400 kN/m. It details the application
of high strength geotextiles in embankment construction in combination with prefab
ricated vertical drains (PVD), rigid bearing elements and flexible geosynthetic encase
d columns (GEC). Another aspect is the application of sinkhole overbridging with geo
synthetic reinforcements. In this regard the different polymer raw materials like Poly
ester (PET), Polyvinylalkhol (PVA) and Aramid (AR) are highlighted. For each applicati
on the design and the construction process is presented and measurement results fr
om executed projects are demonstrated. Part II: The second part is dedicated to th
e use of a geosynthetic textile used as flexible concrete formwork. The different typ
es of permeable as well as impermeable geosynthetic formwork types are introduce
d. The design is discussed and the particularities in the context of construction are d
etailed. Further, the different applications like revetment structures, spillways, chan
nel linings, basins and especially berth protection are highlighted with case studies fr
om Europa and Asia. Lastly, the design and use of the geosynthetic concrete formwo
rk for pipelines is introduced.
Common erosion prevention and vegetation practices for slope protection in
Malaysia by Mr. Ng Kian Boon
1) The types of erosion control system
2) What is Hydroseeding/Hydromulching
3) Turfing and ground covers
