Retaining Earth Wall
Correct Answer:
A. Reinforced Earth Wall
Explanation:
An RE wall stands for Reinforced Earth Wall, which is a composite structure used in civil engineering to retain soil. It combines layers of compacted backfill with tensile reinforcement materials like steel strips or geogrids. This integration allows the soil to withstand lateral pressures and support heavy loads more effectively than soil alone. These systems are widely used in highway embankments and bridge abutments because they are cost-effective, flexible, and quicker to install than traditional concrete retaining walls.
