Abstract:
A soil reinforcement system including angled soil reinforcement elements to resist seismic shear forces and methods of making same are disclosed. For example, the soil reinforcement system includes an array or grid of angled soil reinforcement elements installed within the ground, wherein the angled reinforcement elements are designed to absorb and/or resist earthquake-induced seismic shear forces by transferring the applied shear forces into axial compressive and tensile forces within each of the angled reinforcement elements.

Claim (Index 25):
An array of angled soil reinforcement elements for absorbing seismic shear stresses in a soil matrix, the array of angled soil reinforcement elements installed in a soil matrix each at a determined angle relative to the soil matrix and to a determined depth in the soil matrix, the array of soil reinforcement elements each comprising a material that exhibits a stiffness modulus greater than the stiffness modulus of the soil matrix wherein seismic shear stresses are absorbed by the array of angled soil reinforcement elements to reduce potential for soil liquefaction, wherein each of the angled soil reinforcement elements are spaced from each other such that none of the angled soil reinforcement elements are in direct contact with another angled soil reinforcement element within the array, and wherein spacing between each angled soil reinforcement element of the array is about four feet to about thirty feet.
