The DIRECTED FRAGILITY system
(*) applied to reinforced soil retaining walls and bridge abutments,
in public as well as private works, provides clear improvements to these
types of construction for projects such as:
Roads
Highways
Railroads
Channels
Bulkheads
Harbours
Dams
Residential and Industrial Complexes,
etc.
Submerged, Marine, River Works,
etc.
(*) Patented
This system is completely adaptable to the basic project,
while contributing in each case, where appropriate, the possible improvements
inherent to the system.
These are solutions to works done in dry environments,
as well as those in flood or aquatic areas, rivers and marine works. They
are also ideal for severe seismic conditions.
