CONT

A similar concept to that of the multi-anchored wall incorporating looped geotextiles is that of the tyre-reinforced buttress.... This technique has been used to support an old rumbling masonry retaining wall and makes use of worn tyres and a strip geotextile.... The tyres buried at the rear of the reinforced buttress are linked to the face tyres with a strip geotextile, and act as a series of small anchors. for aesthetic reasons, the outer face of the buttress will usually be hydra-seeded after completion.
