There are a number of techniques available for increasing the stability of a soil slope by the inclusion of reinforcements. Greater strength could be imparted through tension reinforcement, shear enhancement or a combination of the two. For new embankment slopes, the reinforcing elements are built into the structure as it is constructed from the bottom up. For new cuttings construction will be from the top downwards, but for existing slopes the reinforcements will be installed into existing [...] Soil nailing for slope stabilisation is a relatively new technique in the UK and no single, well-accepted design method is employed within the industry. In 1994 the Highways Agency published Advice Note HA 68 Design methods for the reinforcement of highway slopes by reinforced soil and soil nailing techniques (DMRB 4.1). [...] 4.3.2 BS 8006:1995 This is applicable to the use of soil reinforcement techniques for both walls and slopes. Section 7.5.2 of the document gives specific, but limited, guidance for soil nailed slopes. The design philosophy is based on limit state design principles to assess external and internal stability.
Partial factors of safety are adopted for ultimate and serviceability limit state criteria.

These meth-ods include techniques described as soil nailing, the application of soil anchors, or the use of root piles, micropiles, or pin piles. 7.2.2.2. 1 Soil Nailing Soil "nails" are steel bars, rods, cables, or tubes that are driven into natural soil or soft rock slopes or are grouted into. pre-drilled [...] As noted by Gedney and Weber (1978), one of the most effective treatments for landslides and other unstable slopes is to increase the shear strength of the soil by means of subsurface drainage. Drainage reduces the excess pore pres-sures in the soil mass, which increases the effective stress on the potential failure surface. Subsurface drainage techniques are discussed in detail in Section 6.2.2. 7.2.2 Soil Reinforcement Soil reinforcement is the inclusion of tensile resis-tant elements in a

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.

By no means is this list exhaustive. In fact, in practice, these structures may be used in combination with each [...] spacing of primary geogrid reinforcement are within the 2.5-ft to 4-ft range at the bottom of reinforced slopes, and as high as 6 feet at the top of the slope. Experience has shown that placing, compacting and maintaining a steep slope for what is equivalent to 4- to 6-ft geogrid spacing at the face of the slope is difficult and sometimes impossible. The following section will describe several construction techniques which deal with the surficial stability of reinforced slopes. Slope Angles <

constructed soil reinforcement technique describes the technique where the reinforcement is placed at the same time as an imported and remolded soil. Such technique are often called as bottom up process as they involve the placement of a fill and reinforcement simultaneously, these include structures such as reinforced soil embankments and bridge abutments.

Soil Bioengineering for Slope Stabilization and Site Restoration 1 David F. Polster Abstract Soil bioengineering is the use of living plant materials to construct structures that perform some engineering function. Often, soil bioengineering is used to treat sites where surface stability and erosion problems arise. Techniques such as wattle fences and modified brush layers form small retaining walls that can be used to support failing slopes or to reduce slope angles and allow other vegetation to [...] seepage zones and to control surface erosion (Gray and Leiser, 1982). Soil bioengineering can also be used in construction to provide soil reinforcement and as living retaining walls (wattle fences) and live reinforced earth walls. Soil bioengineering techniques fit well with ecological restoration and the successional reclamation model developed by Polster, (1989). Successional reclamation seeks to reintegrate the disturbed site into the natural successional processes that would serve to [...] INTRODUCTION Soil bioengineering can provide an effective means of treating sites where steep slopes and soil instability are resulting in revegetation problems. Soil bioengineering is the use of living plant materials to perform some engineering function, from simple erosion control with grass and legume seeding or more complex slope stabilization with willows and other plants (Schiechtl, 1980). Soil bioengineering techniques can be used to revegetate steep slopes, to treat seepage zones and

Figure 11.4 Continued. (Adapted from Gray & Leiser, 1982) LOW-VOLUME ROADS BMPS: 112 For low to high walls in many geographic areas today, Mechani-cally Stabilized Earth (MSE), or “Reinforced Soil” structures are the least expensive type of wall available. They are simple to build, and often they can use on-site granular backfill material. They are commonly constructed using layers of geotextile or welded wire placed in lifts 15 to 45 cm apart in the soil, thus adding tensile re-inforcement to [...] Photo 11.11 Photo 11.11 Photo 11.11 Photo 11.11 Photo 11.11 A tire-faced, mechanically stabilized earth (MSE) retaining wall, with layers of geotextile reinforcement, being used to gain road width in a fill failure area.
