New flexible facing with untensioned anchors for steep slopes

Résumé des résultats (Abstract) (Allemand)

Flexible facings are an efficient method for the stabilization of steep slopes. The aim is the development of a new flexible facing system with a high-tensile mesh by means of a large-scale setup, whereby the influence of properties of the facing and the free selectable distance between the anchors are developed. The innovation results in a use of less anchors and one high-tensile mesh only. Material and installation costs result in a more cost-effective product, faster to install and with a reduced carbon footprint. An intense international interest and the possibility to establish a new international market are expected.
