Abstract
Abstract EARTH REINFORCEMENT CONSTRUCTED BY ASSEMBLING A MASS OF PULVERULENT MATERIAL FRICTIONALLY BOUNDED BY ELONGATED FRICTIONAL ELEMENTS WHICH EXTENDS INCLUDE A FLEXIBLE CABLE PARTICLES. THE FRICTIONAL ELEMENTS INCLUDE A FLEXIBLE CABLE OR WIRE HAVING LARGE RADIAL PROJECTIONS SUCH AS BALLS SECURED ON THE CABLE AT REGULAR INTERVALS ALONG THE LENGTH OF THE CABLE. THE BOUNDARY OF THE MASS OF PARTICLES IS CONFINED BY A WALL BUILT OF LAYERS OF THE FRICTIONAL ELEMENTS LAYED CONTINUOUSLY IN TRAVERSING COURSES ON TOP OF EACH OTHER. AT SUITABLE INTERVALS THE ELONGATED FRICTIONAL ELEMENTS EXTEND OUTWARDLY FROM THE WALL INTO THE MASS OF PARTICLES SO THAT THE PARTICLES FILL THE SPACE BETWEEN THE REINFORCING ELEMENTS TO PROVIDE A STABLE STRUCTURE.
