Fastener arrangement and method for securing cellular confinement system

摘要

A fastener for a cellular confinement system provides a tendon-retaining protrusion for receiving and retaining a reinforcing tendon passing through the cellular walls of the cellular confinement system or over the tops of the cellular walls of the cellular confinement system. The fastener includes a body with an opening configured to be attached to the end of a reinforcing bar for securing the tendon to the ground. Alternatively, the fastener is secured to the tendon so as to transfer forces from the cell wall of the cellular confinement system to the tendon.
