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 1):
A method of installing an array of angled soil reinforcement elements to absorb seismic shear stresses in a soil matrix, comprising inserting an array of angled soil reinforcement elements into a soil matrix at a determined angle and to a determined depth, wherein each of the soil reinforcement elements of the array of angled soil reinforcement elements comprises a material that exhibits a stiffness modulus greater than the stiffness modulus of the soil matrix and wherein seismic shear stresses imparted from seismic activity are absorbed by the array of angled soil reinforcement elements, thus reducing a potential for soil liquefaction, wherein the soil reinforcement elements are spaced from each other such that none of the angled soil reinforcement elements within the array are in direct contact with another angled soil reinforcement element within the array.
