- Design of gabion walls: practical casePublication . Korin, Tetiana; Braz-César, M.T.; Volodymyrivn, Rotko SvitlanaGabion structures have been known for a long time, but now they become extremely widely used. Why have they become so popular and what are the advantages of these designs? Perhaps the most important of the advantages is their environmental friendliness. Among a number of environmental problems of our time, one of the most influential and least controlled is the problem of carbon dioxide emissions. Our future, the future of the planet and humanity in general depends on control of this emissions. So, compared to, for example, a concrete retaining wall, a gabion wall of the same height will reduce these emissions by 80%. In addition, they can be reduced by absorption by vegetation that appears over time on the gabion structures. Gabion structures are used to strengthen the slopes and shorelines of reservoirs, to prevent landslides, to prevent erosion, in the construction of highways, bridges, embankments etc. Gabion structures are multifunctional - they can be considered not just as a part of the general concept or a feature of the design, but as a full-fledged basis for territory planning. The relevance of the topic is modeling the correct approach to the design and calculation of gabion retaining walls, observing the technology of their arrangement and maintenance, understanding the possibilities of solving environmental and urban planning problems that can be avoided with using gabion structures. Thus the scope of this project is to study the gabion wall as a retaining structure in areas of possible landslides, by taking into account various factors such as stability, flexibility, environmental impact and serviceability, following the given design parameters such as overturning moment, resisting moment, sliding resistance and bearing pressure. Nowadays, new construction methodologies have appeared, as well as design with the help of various softwares, to facilitate the implementation of the structure in practice. The main goal is to present the gabion wall as retaining structure.
