In India’s rapidly expanding infrastructure landscape, reinforced earth (RE) walls—also known as reinforced soil (RS) walls—offer a cost-effective solution for retaining structures along highways, embankments, and bridges. These engineered systems, which combine soil with geosynthetic or metallic reinforcements, have become commonplace in national highway projects.
