Design Procedure for Geosynthetic Reinforced Steep Slopes.
Abstract
This report presents a method for the design of geosynthetic reinforced slopes. A computer program ReSlope was developed to allow the user to optimize the design by accounting for elements such as user-specified partial safety factors, geosynthetic ultimate strength, cohesive soils, pore water pressure, external loads, and seismicity. This report provides recommendations regarding selection of soil shear strength parameters, safety factors, and practical specifications for reinforcement layout Design aspects related to erosion control and construction are also discussed. Finally, tips regarding arrest of tension cracks and an economical procedure for repairing a failed slope are given.
