Geostud, a Romanian geotechnical engineering company, participated in the International Geosynthetics Conference “12 ICG – Geosynthetics, Leading the Way to a Resilient Planet”, which took place in Rome from September 17-21, 2023.
Laura Popa and Aurel Barariu, two of our specialized engineers, presented a paper at the Rome conference on the use of geosynthetics in the foundation of residential complexes and low-rise buildings on stabilized fill in Bucharest.
In the paper presented, the authors, Ing. Sebastian Mustățea, Ing. Liviu Talos, and Dr. Ing. Aurel Barariu, present an alternative solution to the complete removal of fill materials, which requires excavation, transportation, storage in specially designated areas, activities that require permits, environmental protection works, and high costs.
The solution proposed by Geostud is based on the use of geosynthetics, which can be used to consolidate and stabilize fill materials. This allows the construction of structures on fill, without the need to remove them, which is a more sustainable and economical solution.
The #12ICG Conference is a top event in the field of geotechnical engineering, bringing together experts from around the world. Geostud’s presence at this conference is an opportunity to promote our innovative solutions in the field of construction.
ABSTRACT: Due to the restriction of the perimeters with good foundation lands in Bucharest, which are also very expensive, a need arose to base on fillings, especially for residential complexes and some low-rise building. Although these houses transmit lower pressures to the foundation lands, due to the inhomogeneity of the fillings, differentiated settlements appear, which in the end can destroy the building. Consequently, in addition to the well-known solution to completely remove fillers – a solution that involves excavation work transportation, storage in
specially designed spaces, activities that require approvals, environmental protection work, high costs – Geostud specialists have found alternative technologies consolidation and stabilization of these fillers, based on the use of geosynthetics. The article presents the technologies, including the theoretical basis and examples of works where they have been used.
