Specification Guidelines for Geosynthetic Reinforced Soil Slope Systems Description Work shall consist of design, furnishing materials, and construction of geosynthetic reinforced soil slope structure. Supply of geosynthetic reinforcement, drainage composite, and erosion control materials, and site assistance are all to be furnished by the slope system supplier. [...] b. Design of Reinforcement for Compaction Aid For the use of geosynthetics as compaction aids, the design is relatively simple. Assuming the slope is safe without reinforcement, no reinforcement design is required. Place any geotextile or geogrid that will survive construction at every lift or every other lift in a continuous plane along the edge of the slope (see figure 4b). Only narrow strips, about 1.2 to 2 m (4 to 6 ft) in width, at 0.3 to 0.5 m (1 to 1.5 ft) vertical spacing are required. [...] The reinforced slope design must have a minimum factor of safety of 1.5 for slope stability.
The minimum design life of the new embankment is 75 years.
Determine the number of layers, vertical spacing, and total length required for the reinforced section.
Step 1. Geometric and loading requirements for design.

## References [...] A procedure for the stability analysis and design of geosynthetic reinforced soil slopes over a firm foundation is described. Firstly the unreinforced slope is analysed, and for this a circular failure method is used which allows a surcharge load to be taken into account. Any method of slip circle analysis could be used to identify the coordinates of the centre of the slip circle, its radius and the minimum factor of safety. In this study, both internal and external stability analysis of the

The design methods require that both internal and external stability be checked. For evaluation of internal stability, most methods adopt an earth pressure approach, while a handful of others adopt a slope stability approach.

reinforced slope with a computer program. Layout includes number, length, design strength, and vertical distribution of the geosynthetic reinforcement. The charts presented in Figure D-8 provide a method for generating a preliminary layout. Note that these charts were developed with the specific assumptions noted in this figure. Analyze the reinforced soil slope with the trial geosynthetic reinforcement layouts. The most economical reinforcement layout must provide the maximum stability [...] geosynthetic reinforcement strength loss concept is illustrated in Figure D-5. As shown in the figure, some strength losses occur immediately upon installation, and others occur throughout the design life of the reinforcement. Much of the long-term strength loss does not begin to occur until near the end of the reinforcement design life.

the performance, serviceability, or efficiency of design should be finalized. The following GRS design implications and related details should be considered: • A core of native soil in the center of the abutment face and two adjacent wing walls should be considered to minimize excavation (figure 31). The wing walls can be truncated like the abutment. They should be extended sufficiently into the cut slope to prevent erosion caused by undermining or piping. This should be a minimum of two facing [...] 15.25 ft. • Abutment length (Labut): 43.6 ft. • Batter angle: 2 degrees. • Bridge width: 34 ft. • Wall placement with respect to ground conditions: No back slope or toe slope. • Skew angle: 24 degrees. • Grade: 0.006 ft/ft. • Superelevation angle: 7.6 degrees. Tolerable movement performance criteria are as follows: • Vertical settlement: Vertical strain ( v) is limited to 0.5 percent, so vertical settlement of the GRS mass (Dv) is limited to 0.076 ft (Dv = v × H). • Lateral displacements: [...] the fills should be visually assessed. 7.6 REINFORCEMENT Generally, the length of the reinforcement layers will follow the cut slope, as shown in figure 20. While the reinforcement layers in the GRS abutment can be any geosynthetic, the RSF and 88 integrated approach should be constructed and encapsulated with a geotextile to confine the compacted granular fill. The geosynthetic should be placed so that the strongest direction is perpendicular to the abutment face, as shown in figure 60 for 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 [...] Reinforced soil to be used, including gradation, and shear strength, and compaction characteristics, such as dry unit weight and optimum moisture content. Foundation soils, including unit weight, groundwater conditions and elevation, and shear strength. 4 Analysis and Design To analyze and design GRE, the geotechnical designer must understand two essential design components: geosynthetic reinforcements and reinforced soil. The first subsection provides detailed discussion of the two design [...] Distressed or deteriorated slopes need to be restored. 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.

This system is designed for these applications. For more information on PROPEX Scourlok, please see the Solmax Technical Note on nature based erosion control solutions. Figure 5: Typical reinforced soil slope with geotextile filter fabric placed under the rip rap face protection 3 Reinforced slopes with a geosynthetic wrap face Reinforced slopes that are 1(H): 1(V) and steeper typically require facing support during construction (FHWA, 2009b). A geosynthetic face wrap and/or a hard armor facing [...] Reinforced soil slopes (RSS) are defined as structures with face inclinations of less than 70 degrees from the horizontal (FHWA, 2009a). A critical aspect of the design of reinforced slopes is the facing system. The erosion protection facilitates vegetation establishment and/or provides structural support for forming “over-steepened” slopes. The secondary reinforcement facilitates compaction and helps prevent surficial sloughing at the slope face. Figure 1 shows a general cross section and the [...] include ‘soft’ or vegetated and ‘hard’ or armored systems, which may or may not include a geosynthetic face wrap. This Technical Note provides guidance on the selection of geosynthetic reinforced slope facing systems.
