Bracing consists of structural elements that are installed to provide restraint or support, or both, to other members so that the complete assembly forms a stable structure. Bracing may be in lateral, longitudinal, and transverse planes and may consist of sway, cross, vertical, diagonal, horizontal, and like elements to resist wind, earthquake, erection, and other forces. 1, record 2, English, - bracing

The term reinforcing is used basically to mean tension or membrane reinforcing, that is, the ability to distribute a concentrated load over a larger area of the subgrade, thus avoiding local overloading of the bearing capacity. A closer analysis of the reinforcing function of a geotextile laid between the base course and the subgrade, reveals that in addition to membrane reinforcing there is a second phenomenon which improves the load bearing capacity of the structure by providing horizontal reinforcing or lateral restraint. Because of this the geotextile works against horizontal deformation where it is in contact with the base and subgrade. 1, record 4, English, - reinforcing%20function

La diversité d'emploi des géotextiles dans les ouvrages de génie civil montre que ces derniers sont en mesure d'assurer plusieurs fonctions non seulement durant la phase de fonctionnement de l'ouvrage, mais également pendant la phase de construction. On recense deux rôles majeurs : le rôle hydraulique, le rôle mécanique (...) Dans le rôle mécanique, on citera : la fonction séparation (...), la fonction protection (...), la fonction renforcement, envisagée comme une armature, qui confère au milieu environnant une résistance en traction. 4, record 4, French, - fonction%20renforcement

Action de support ou d'armature (...) Le principe de renforcement des sols est bien connu. Le remblai renforcé avec les nappes de géotextiles en est un exemple. Le géotextile, dans ce cas, améliore les caractéristiques mécaniques du matériau de remblai. Le géotextile placé en base d'un remblai construit sur le sol mou renforce ce dernier, reprend des tractions que le sol ne pourrait reprendre et intersecte le cercle de glissement empêchant ainsi celui-ci de se produire. 3, record 4, French, - fonction%20renforcement
