Jewell investigated the effects of reinforcement on the mechanical behavior of soils . Findings indicated that the state of stress was modified due to the shear generated by the tensile reinforcement. The horizontal forces required to maintain equilibrium are calculated as a gross force as follows:

A reinforced soil slope is defined as a compacted fill embankment that incorporates geosynthetic reinforcement to increase the soil shear to enhance the stability of the embankment when site conditions require an embankment with a steeper angle of repose (how steep soil can naturally be piled relative to a horizontal plane) or if the embankment is intended to carry a load considered unstable with the existing subgrade. [...] When building a reinforced slope, we will primarily depend on a secondary reinforcement with a light to moderate geosynthetic fabric or grid in tight vertical spacing with relatively short embedment lengths (how far horizontally into the slope these extend). These layers will provide superficial stability to protect the embankment from shallow plane failure at the surface, while also giving compaction equipment a good platform in which to compact soil lifts all the way to the face of the slope. [...] ### Step 2 – Reinforcement Placement
Place reinforcement as determined by construction drawings to match embedment, elevation, and orientation as determined by the design engineer. Ensure geosynthetic reinforcement is free of wrinkles and folds and is pulled taught by using soil staples or pins. Splicing in the direction parallel to the face of the slope is prohibited.

Geosynthetic Reinforced Embankments January 2026 Page 1 of 17 1 Geosynthetic 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 • [...] and design. • Adjust geosynthetic reinforcement lengths according to stability demand. Reduce the reinforcement lengths toward the top of the slope as the demand reduces. • The reinforcement lengths must be at least 8 feet. • The vertical spacing of geosynthetic reinforcements should be the multiplier of the compacted thickness of reinforced soil layer. For example, if typical compacted thickness of reinforced soil is 6 inches, during design place geosynthetic reinforcements at 6, 12, or 24 [...] of geosynthetic reinforcements as follows: • Step 1: Set the lower search limits to be in front of the toe of slope. Adjust the types (with different LTS) and lengths of geosynthetic reinforcements at the bottom geosynthetic reinforcement layers, to satisfy the required FoS. The design of bottom geosynthetic reinforcement layers can be determined in this step. • Step 2: Move or extend the search limits to encompass lower portion of the slope. Adjust the types (with different LTS) and lengths of
