Abstract (EN): In this paper the behaviour of a real embankment reinforced with geogrids will be analysed using results of numeric modelling in static conditions. Analyses are made using commercial software based on the finite differences method. In modelling special incidence will be given to structures behaviour in terms of deformations and to the influence of length and total area of installed geogrids. For this effect it will be made comparative analyses using different reinforcement solutions. Finally, some conclusions will be drawn concerning the behaviour of reinforced structures with geogrids and of the amount of the necessary reinforcement to its stability.
