TOPIC:  Use of an innovative Geocomposite (Paradrain) to build a reinforced 2H :1V slope using clay and silty soils for stormwater management pond.
The use of clayey and silty soils (marginal fill soils) in reinforced soil slopes and walls is usually avoided due to the low shear strength of these soils and the buildup of excessive pore pressures within the reinforced soil mass during compaction operations. This talk presents examples of vegetated, reinforced 2H:1V slopes constructed as integral parts of the storm water management ponds for a large industrial facility in Southern Ontario. The vegetated reinforced slope structures have been constructed using on site soft soils. The reinforced steep slopes were designed and constructed at 26° from the horizontal and are up to 7m in height.
An innovative geocomposite reinforcement grid (ParaDrain) has been developed that combines reinforcement and drainage characteristics into a single geocomposite geogrid that allows for marginal fill soils to be used in reinforced soil applications. 
Significant cost savings were realized by using readily available marginal fill soil for the construction of an earth embankment in a large urban area in Southern Ontario. This talk will discuss the use and cost benefits of this innovative geocomposite in North America.
