This presentation depicts the actual research and developments that is being carried out, and the associated challenges encountered in order to implement a collection of geocomposite drainage solutions as an alternative to the traditional approach when addressing the drainage requirements in Mechanically Stabilised Earth (MSE) structures. We would like to highlight the importance of proper drainage in MSE structures, demonstrating the advantages of the selected geocomposite solution in the actual research for ensuring optimal conditions for a dry reinforced soil in compliance with design parameters.
