Fabric containment systems ... fabrics can reinforce soils by being sandwiched in layers and by supporting the soil at an exposed face. A logical extension to horizontal and vertical reinforcement is the complete encapsulation of the soil by fabric. Case histories .... A series of 4- to 7-foot high dikes constructed on low-strength highly compressible marsh soils have presented continual maintenance problems since their construction ....
