An open mesh biaxial geosynthetic specifically designed as a face wrap material was also used in the slope face. The RSS allowed for an economical solution and less complicated construction than the other, traditional methods that were considered. The reinforced slope was successfully completed and is performing as expected. The structure allowed the airport to meet recent FAA Safety Standards while creating an engineered structure that blends into the scenic green hills

(REV 5-24-17) (FA 6-26-17) (1-18) includes 1450800 SECTION 145 GEOSYNTHETIC REINFORCEMENT 145-1 Description. This Section specifies the construction requirements for geosynthetics used in: geosynthetic reinforced soil slopes, and geosynthetic reinforced foundations constructed on soft in-situ soils. Furnish and place geosynthetics and any associated facing material or drainage blankets. 145-2 Responsibility. Construct the geosynthetic reinforced feature, including materials, method, and [...] the geosynthetic supplier, technical instructions, guidance in preconstruction activities, and on-site technical assistance during construction. Submit a copy of any instructions provided by the supplier to the Engineer prior to beginning installation. 145-4.2 Reinforced Soil Slopes: 145-4.2.1 Preparation: Remove all existing vegetation and all unsuitable foundation materials. Prepare the foundation in accordance with Section 110, except as noted herein. Proof roll the graded area with a [...] do not meet the required criteria, reject the material and reconstruct with acceptable material. 145-8 Method of Measurement. 145-8.1 Geosynthetic Reinforced Soil Slopes: The quantity to be paid for will be the plan quantity area, in square feet, of the projected vertical height of the slope face, measured from the top of slope to the proposed final ground line at the toe of slope and from the beginning to end limits as shown in the Plans, regardless of the length or number of layers of

Slope Height: 10 ft to 30 ft Slope Length: 425 ft Slope Angle: 1H:1V Construction Specifications: Maine Department of Transportation Construction Sequence: The contractor built temporary forms to aid in the construction of the 1H:1V slope and up to 25 layers of geotextile with embedment lengths of up to 25 ft were used with select backfill. The contractor was able to spread the reinforced soil and compact to 95% of standard Proctor effort. The lower zone reinforcing fabric was spaced at 1 [...] Geosynthetic Material: Reinforcement: Polyester Geogrid (3600 lb/ft) Facing: Welded Wire Forms Foundation Soil: Silty-Sand Slope Height: 26 ft Slope Angle: 1H:1V Construction Specifications: South Carolina DOT Construction Sequence: The slope design required primary geogrid reinforcement to be placed at 2 ft vertical spacing for the bottom third of the slope and 6 ft vertical spacing in the upper third of the slope. The geogrid embedment lengths required to satisfy overall slope [...] Old Town of Idstein Location: Idstein, Germany Purpose: Maximize Available Land Geosynthetic Material: Reinforcement: Geosynthetic Facing: Geosynthetic & Steel Grid Slope Height: 18 ft Slope Length: 525 ft Slope Angle: 60° Construction Sequence: To sustain a large population of old trees, a geosynthetic reinforced slope was built adjacent to the historical Old Town of Idstein, near Frankfurt in 2001. Using longitudinal inclination of 12%, an altitude difference of 65 ft was achieved over a

Geosynthetic Reinforced Embankments September 2023 Page 1 of 17 1 Reinforced Embankments Geosynthetic Reinforced Embankment (GRE) is a system that incorporates planar geosynthetic reinforcement within a slope (Figure 1) for slope inclinations less than 70 degrees from horizontal. A GRE is also referred to as a Reinforced Soil Slope. Situations where GRE may be used include: • • • • Limited right of way Shortage of fill quantity for slope construction Excess of excavated materials Distressed or [...] FHWA GEC 011 “Design and Construction of Mechanically Stabilized Earth Walls and Reinforced Soil Slopes - Volume I.” Publication No. FHWA-NHI-10-024.

The components of a geosynthetic reinforced embankment include: geosynthetic reinforcements, reinforced soil, drainage system, and erosion control. The foundation below the GRE (foundation soil) and slope behind the GRE (retained soil) also affect the design of the GRE.

59 2 When a significant change in grade is needed or desired in earthwork construction, one of four methods can be taken: (i) provide a stable slope, about 2:1 (horizontal:vertical) for granular soil without any concern of seepage (and about 4:1 with concern of seep-age), to allow for gradual transition between the grades, (ii) construct a stable steepened slope with geosynthetic inclusion near the face of the slope to allow tighter transition between the grades, (iii) construct an earth [...] Geosynthetic Reinforced Soil (GRS) Walls 392 Natural Rock Facing ● ● The height and slope angles delineated in the construction plans should not be exceeded without clear evidence that higher or steeper features will be stable.
● ● Rocks should be placed by skilled operators and should be placed in fairly uniform lifts.
● ● Care must be exercised when placing infill in the voids between rocks. The infilling needs to be as complete as possible.
