The features of structural and technological solutions of strength and stability increasing of thin retaining walls and reinforcement of the backfill soil, dam, and slope are considered. Glassfiber concrete was proposed as the material for the wall which, as compared with ordinary concrete, has enhanced performance characteristics. Despite the variety of solutions for soil reinforcement and ways to minimize horizontal deformations, a new technological solution has been developed to increase the stability of the walls while increasing the additional load on the soil within the pressure prism. It is given the description of this solution and the results of experimental studies in confirmation of the theoretical assumptions about the improvement of the physical and mechanical characteristics of the backfill soil during the construction of retaining walls.
