Abstract
The present invention concerns a method of installing a reinforcement strip in a compacted fill retained by facing element together with the reinforcement strip extending between an anchorage zone and the wall. The anchorage zone is located away from the facing element and separated from the facing element. The method comprises: a) installing the reinforcement strip in the fill by feeding the strip from a first location in the anchorage zone to the wall and looping the strip through a wall connection point back to a second location in the anchorage zone; b) tensioning the strip by pulling the strip to a predetermined tension at the first location and at the second location; and c) anchoring the strip to the fill at the first location and at the second location while keeping the strip under tension.
