o:3939 Application of geogrids in recultivation measures of degraded land en Abstract: Geogrids are the most often used to strengthen and stabilize a weak-bearing soil. In some cases, the material, the fraction of which is larger than the opening of a mesh, is piled on the geogrid and material is trapped in the openings of geogrid and a system resistant to the external forces is created. Now, there are the geogrids made of natural (organic), synthetic and composite type of materials. Geogrids and organic geotextiles are the natural and 100% biodegradable solution to the erosion control using the geogrids or geotextile mats made of coconut (or jute) fibers. They are designed to hold the soil in place until vegetation is established. A geogrid or permeable geotextile provides a natural support system to the soil and vegetation. Keywords: geogrids, recultivation, organic geomaterials, degraded land. 91552100 136856841 1552100 978-86-7827-052-9 2024-02-06T09:16:31.898Z 44 no 46 Milenko Jovanović Institut za rudarstvo i metalurgiju Bor 0000-0002-6757-4143 Daniel Kržanović Institut za rudarstvo i metalurgiju Bor person 0000-0003-3841-8667 Radmilo Rajković Institut za rudarstvo i metalurgiju Bor person 0000-0001-5905-6613 Miomir Mikić Institut za rudarstvo i metalurgiju Bor person 0000-0001-7659-769X Emina Požega Institut za rudarstvo i metalurgiju Bor person 0000-0001-6797-2435 application/pdf 1190946 https://unilib.phaidrabg.rs/o:3939 no yes 1 70 92000004 71A03 Proceedings: International October Conference on Mining and Metallurgy (53 ; 2022 ; Bor) 213 216 2022
