Use of reinforced fill structures in Hong Kong
Abstract
An overview is given on the use of reinforced fill structures in Hong Kong, including design and construction standards, geotechnical control, Endorsement Certificate System, usage, case histories, performance, and research and development undertaken by the Geotechnical Engineering Office. A total of 31 permanent structures have been completed so far, most of which utilise galvanised steel ribbed strips with concrete facing panels. All the completed structures have been performing satisfactorily, and little problem was encountered during construction under the local environment.
