The engineer recommended use of the FHWA design guidelines with hard aggregate, such as crushed limestone or sandstone, reinforced with geotextile or geogrid. He also recommended for the owner to specify performance and for the contractor to design the project in the submittal process. However, distresses can occur if the contractor does not construct the slope with quality soil and reinforcement. Common distresses include deformation and settlement,

For soil slope applications, Alabama Department of Transportation (DOT) specifies that the geosynthetic reinforcement (either geogrid or geotextile) shall be constructed of polyester, polypropylene, or polyethylene, resistant to all naturally occurring alkaline and acidic soil conditions, and resistant to heat, ultraviolet light, and to attack by bacteria and fungi in the soil . Reinforcement for soil slopes shall be any geosynthetic whose strength in the machine direction equals or exceeds the [...] The majority of survey respondents recommended the use of the FHWA guidelines for the design of reinforced slopes as per Figure 3. The technique has been adopted by many transportation agencies in the United States and South America . Less advocated approaches included Eurocode and other design methods, such as EBGEO (Empfehlungen für den Entwurf und die Berechnung von Erdkörpern mit Bewehrungen aus Geokunststoffen) and British Standard 8006. Additionally, 88 percent recommended the use of [...] According to the survey, following the FHWA design guidelines is the most advocated approach for designing reinforced slopes. Other common design methods have been developed by Jewell, Leshchinsky, and Eurocode. Internal and external stability are considered, including rotational, sliding, bearing, and lateral failure.

Note: Section 19-6.03C of Standard Specifications stipulates, “… Construct embankment in layers. The loose thickness of each layer must not exceed 8 inches.” The typical vertical spacing between primary geosynthetic reinforcements is 4 feet. The vertical spacing for the top layer near the top of the slope may be increased to 6 feet. The vertical spacing at the bottom of the slope may be 2 feet or smaller depending on

Reinforced soil slopes (RSS) stand as a cornerstone in modern geotechnical engineering, offering robust solutions for constructing slopes with inclinations less than 70 degrees from the horizontal. These structures are pivotal in combating erosion, facilitating vegetation growth, and ensuring the stability of steepened terrain. The general facing systems deployed in these constructions can be broadly classified into two types: soft or vegetated and hard armored systems, which may or may not [...] When employing geosynthetic materials, ensuring UV stability is crucial for long-term effectiveness, especially in environments with significant exposure to sunlight. Structures with a design life greater than three years, as recommended by FHWA guidelines, should use UV-stable materials to prevent degradation over time. In vegetated structures, where vegetation might provide some protection from UV light, the use of UV-stable facing is still recommended to safeguard against areas where [...] may or may not include a geosynthetic face wrap. This comprehensive guide delves into the selection of geosynthetic facing options for reinforced slopes, underlining their importance and utility in various geotechnical applications.
