Abstract
An improved earthen construction is comprised of horizontal layers of reinforcing elements or tensile members with a fabric over a part of the elements and with a U-shaped cross section basket filled with granular material defining the forward or face of the wall. The U-shaped basket is especially dimensioned and constructed of generally rigid tensile members to ensure the integrity of the wall. Flexible fabric lines the basket and also extends over the basket. Backfill material coacts with the elements by at least partial frictional engagement to provide a soil reinforced structure.
