Land bracing High-resistance steels are also used as active braces for the provisional or definitive consolidation of land. In combination with cement grouting, easy-to-achieve deep foundations can be laid. These steels are especially indicated for use in low-quality soils and for special interventions on the soil (vertical banks, land subjected to stress before the execution of the work, etc.). For the implementation of braces, seven-strand steel wires with diameters of around 15 mm are used.
