Abstract:
In this study, the design problem of a geosynthetic reinforced slope embankment is discussed. The method proposed by the Federal Highway Administration, FHWA is followed, and its adequacy is checked. A computer program is developed which would design the slope of an embankment. The program has some searching routine to help to locate critical surfaces. The program prints the amount of reinforcements required as well as their distribution along the edge of the embankment.
