Abstract (en)
[origin: WO9102851A2] A cellular structure for sustaining an embankment is comprised of a vertical facing structure including generally a lattice (1) connected to an embedding structure (2, 3). The embedding structure (2, 3) is extended from the facing structure (1) into the embankment. In a first embodiment, the embedding structure is configured like two lattice sections (2) vertically mounted at the vertical edges of the facing structure (1) and prolonged generally in parallel to the embankment. The embedding structure may also be comprised of at least one U-shaped stirrup (3) connected at each of its free ends to a respective vertical edge of the facing structure (1). In this case, the stirrup (3) is generally extended horizontally in the embankment. The masonry of the facing structure (1) may be carried out in different ways in order to achieve various finishings. The cellular structure may also include a sunk framework (5) between the embankment and the facing structure (1). The cellular structure may thus be filled with stones of smaller or larger dimensions as well as with earth. The use of a geotextile allows the vegetation to grow through the facing structure (1).
