Topic #625-000-002 FDOT Design Manual 263-Geosynthetic Design 263 Geosynthetic Design 263.1 General This chapter provides design guidance for geosynthetic reinforced soil slopes and geosynthetic reinforced foundations over soft soils. “Geosynthetic” is a generic term for all synthetic materials used in Geotechnical engineering applications and includes geotextiles and geogrids. Reinforced soil slopes should be utilized only when unreinforced slopes are not appropriate and retaining walls are not [...] or supplier; the product brand names are not shown on the plans. Design reinforced slopes using the maximum reinforcement spacing allowed. For soft soils, design the reinforcement and provide the minimum total strength required. Include the following information in the plans: • Required reinforcement strength based on the maximum allowed vertical spacing of these materials, • The extent and the number of layers of geosynthetic reinforcement, • Vertical spacing of geosynthetic reinforcement, • [...] soil properties for the fill material chosen by the contractor meets or exceeds those used in the redesign. See Standard Specifications Section 145 for requirements associated with Contractor initiated redesigns. 263.4 Geosynthetic Reinforcement Design Considerations Only those geosynthetic products approved for usage on reinforced soil slopes in the APL are eligible for use on FDOT projects.

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. [...] Plans and specifications for the geosynthetic reinforced embankments(s) were developed by MDOT, with the plans indicating the desired finished geometry. The slopes generally ranged from 9 m to 18 m (30 to 60 ft) in height. Face angles varied from 1.5H:1V to 0.84H:1V with the typical angle being 1H:1V. The chosen supplier provided a design that utilized both uniaxially and biaxially oriented geogrids. The resulting design called for primary reinforcing grids 4.6 to 18.3 m (15 to 60 ft) long and [...] (d) Specification Guidelines for Proprietary Geosynthetic RSS Systems.

Page 3 Version 100119 REINFORCED SOIL SLOPES AND EMBANKMENTS For the purposes of this document, a reinforced slope is defined as a compacted fill embankment that incorporates the use of horizontally placed geosynthetic reinforcement to enhance the stability of the soil structure. This broad definition encompasses many and varied applications. In this [...] of a reinforcement geosynthetic: D ID CR ult RF RF RF T LTDS × × = where: Tult = ultimate tensile strength of the reinforcement as per ASTM D6637, RFCR = reduction factor due to creep, RFID = reduction factor due to installation damage, and RFD = reduction factor due to durability. The Reduction Factors (RF) mentioned above are all based on a 75- to 100-year life for the geosynthetic. In order to determine the short-term design strength for the reinforcement geosynthetic, the RF’s can be scaled [...] it was shown that the use of horizontally placed geosynthetic reinforcement to stabilize surficial soils in slope applications is a commonplace procedure. For steep reinforced slopes, for example, relatively short secondary reinforcement layers are placed between the primary reinforcement to provided stability to the surface soil during and after construction to help with the growth of vegetation.
