Re: Reinforcement Zones

ARe you talking about a reinforcement zone for a retaining wall? If so then it is the area immediately behind the retaining wall the contains geogrid reinforcement (or somesort of reinforcement). You can also have reinforced slopes again usually with geogrid.

Re: Reinforcement Zones

I hear people talking about Zones, and to be carefule when coring to not cut through a zone. I think it is the path of reinforcement that the load takes to the foundations I'm not sure.
