A reinforced soil wall can profit of the stabilization provided by TENAX bi-oriented geogrids against bearing capacity failure.
Legend: 1. Deep failure surface with high shear stress developed; 2. Load distribution curves; 3. Enlarged shear resistant surface, increased by TENAX geogrids.
TENAX bi-oriented geogrids distribute the load over a wider area and prevent punching failure within the reinforced fill: in this way the failure surface is enlarged and deepened, with a resulting increase in bearing capacity.
