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.
