Designing for geosynthetics use in construction

NAUE is offering its 2016 update to its SecuSlope design software for mechanically stabilised earth (MSE) applications. The SecuSlope 3.0 package is said to be a user-friendly, interactive, design-orientated program for designing geogrid-reinforced slopes, walls, and abutments. Based upon a user’s project-specific inputs, the English language software produces optimal geosynthetic reinforcement layouts based on geogrid type, length and spacing.

3831 NAUE is offering its 2016 update to its SecuSlope design software for mechanically stabilised earth (MSE) applications.

The SecuSlope 3.0 package is said to be a user-friendly, interactive, design-orientated program for designing geogrid-reinforced slopes, walls, and abutments. Based upon a user’s project-specific inputs, the English language software produces optimal geosynthetic reinforcement layouts based on geogrid type, length and spacing. Factors used by the software include reinforcement strengths, reduction factors, design safety factors, pore-water pressure, and seismicity.

SecuSlope 3.0 is fully updated for state-of-practice use with FHWA (limit equilibrium), BS 8006 (ultimate limit state), and EuroCode 7 (EC7) following the German EBGEO (Recommendations for Design and Analysis of Earth Structures using Geosynthetic Reinforcements) design guide.

    Naue Geosynthetics says its Secugrid offers a solution for a host of ground preparation problems, and for use in reinforced retaining walls. Secugrid is a geogrid made from extruded monolithic flat bars with welded junctions, for soil reinforcement in earth, landfill and road construction as well as in hydraulic engineering applications. Among its benefits are said to be its high strength and low elongation thanks to the extruded elements.

  • Geosynthetics give extra strength to soil reinforcement
    March 14, 2012
    Using geosynthetics for soil reinforcement is highly effective but requires a high quality and trusted geogrid. When it comes to deciding which geogrid is best for a specific project, a number of product parameters must be taken into account. In the design of steep slopes, the most important parameter is the available long term design strength (Pdes). Recently, Colbond has significantly increased this factor for its high performance Enkagrid product, recognised with a newly updated BBA (British Board of Ag
