Although over 150 applications have 4 been identified, geosynthetics have six primary functions: filtration of soil particles subjected to hydraulic forces, drainage of fluids and gases, separation of soil types, reinforcement of soils to enable construction of steep slopes, barrier of soils to prevent contamination, and protection to prevent punctures (Holtz, 2001; GEOfabrics Limited, 2011).

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. [...] In arid regions, geosynthetics that will promote moisture movement into the slope such as non-woven geotextiles or geocomposites may be preferred.
Likewise, the need for water and nutrients in the slope to sustain and promote vegetative growth must be balanced against the desire to remove water so as to reduce hydrostatic pressures. Plants can be installed to promote drainage toward geosynthetic drainage net composites placed at the back of the reinforced soil section. [...] construction or reconstruction to reinforce the soil and provide increased slope stability. Reinforced slopes are a form of mechanically stabilized earth that incorporate planar reinforcing elements in constructed earth sloped structures with face inclinations of less than 70 degrees. Typically, geosynthetics are used for reinforcement.

Geosynthetics are modern materials used to improve soil conditions by providing tensile resistance and stability. In the case of soil reinforcement, a primary application of geosynthetics involves reinforcing steep slopes. With the use of geosynthetics, the construction of reinforced steep slopes is often more affordable and technically feasible when compared to traditional construction techniques . Furthermore, geosynthetic reinforcement is a cost-effective solution for stabilizing recurring [...] reinforcement technology, a synthesis study was conducted on geosynthetic reinforced steep slope. This study is very important because in not only highlighting the advantages and limitations of using geosynthetic reinforcement but also in investigating the current construction and design methods with a view to determining which best practices can be employed. Furthermore, this study also identified and assessed the optimal condition of the soil, performance measures, construction [...] Download PDF

with exceptional aes-thetic and environmental qualities. 2 REINFORCED SLOPE SYSTEMS Reinforced soil slope (RSS) systems incorporate geosynthetic re-inforcements arranged in horizontal planes in the backfill to re-sist outward movement of the reinforced fill mass so that stable steepened slopes on the order of 45 to 70 degrees can be safely constructed (See Figure 1). RSS systems may prove a cost effec-tive alternative for new construction where the cost of fill, right-of-way and other [...] and environmental qualities. This paper describes the use of soil bioengineering vegetative sys-tems in conjunction with geosynthetic reinforcement along with geocomposite drains and erosion control fabrics to provide an eco-nomical and ecological method for safely constructing steep (up to seventy degree) slopes. Basic principles of soil bioengineering and the associated benefits of vegetation are presented. Pre- and post-construction conditions, environmental and aesthetic benefits, [...] Geosynthetics - 7 ICG - Delmas, Gourc & Girard (eds) © 2002 Swets & Zeitlinger, Lisse ISBN 90 5809 523 1 635 th 1 INTRODUCTION Reinforced soil slope systems are often cost effective alternatives for new construction where the cost of fill, right-of-way and other considerations make a steep slope, up to 70 degrees, desir-able. The conventional use of grass-type vegetation for the fac-ing of these systems is often problematic and in some cases prone to significant maintenance. An alternative is

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.

Protocols for field testing for this reduction factor are detailed in Elias, et al.
