Abstract
The geocell retention system is one of the recent advancement techniques in geotechnical engineering. Geocells impart strength to the backfill soil by confinement, interlocking, and friction. The soil or gravel will be confined in the geocells and this confinement gives additional shear strength by its apparent cohesion. The term “geocell retaining wall” represents the stacking of the various geocell layers to form an earth retention system. The role of reinforcing layers is to restrain the earthquake-induced shear deformation in the soil. Reinforcing geocell layers provide increased stability against dynamic loading besides simply stabilizing the fill. The reinforcing geogrid layers and geocell layers resist rotational and translational failure. This paper contains brief inferences on the application of different geocells with different infill material in retention systems and retaining walls with different backfill materials. A brief overview of the usage of different types of tire waste as backfill material is presented.
