Abstract

Steepening of slopes for construction of rail/road embankments or for widening for other civil engineering structures is a necessity for development. Use of geosynthetics for steep slope construction or repair of failed slopes considering all aspects of design and environment could be a viable alternative to this problem. Literature survey indicates that efforts were made for optimization of length of reinforcement. The present paper details an analysis to optimize the length of geosynthetics from the face or near end of the slope with respect to its location and length to obtain the desired minimum factor of safety. Unreinforced and reinforced slopes are analyzed to obtain critical factors of safety. The effect of providing geosynthetic layer in shifting the critical slip circle has been studied and quantified.
