together whereas the geogrid 76 is a monolithic structure in the case of the geogrid 82 the slots therein are formed between adjacent transverse bands the elements of the panel 34 p 2 34 corresponding to those of the panel 34 p 34 are designated by like numerals during transport and storage of the panels the geogrids 76 are rolled up and stored in place on top of the cantilever section 12 see fig2 the panels 34 p 2 34 are used in the construction of earthen embankments in essentially the same manner as the panels 34 p 1 34 the steps employed correspond to steps a through h of fig6 fig2 shows the one relatively minor difference namely that the geogrid soil reinforcements are placed above the fill therebeneath by rolling the geogrids over the fill fig1 and 16 show a modified connector for securing metallic soil reinforcing elements to the face panels 34 p 34 this connector designated 34 c 3 34 may be used for securing metallic soil reinforcing elements of either the gridwork type 40 or the swiggle type 34 s 34 the connector 34 c 3 34 takes the form of a wire 84 projecting horizontally from the panel 34 p 34 to define a v shaped eye.
