A new approach to stability analysis and design of geosynthetic reinforced slopes based on Bishop's method is presented. The effect of sheet inclination across the slip surface on the safety factor or on tensile strength of the sheet is materialized by the introduction, in the computation, of a factor varying from 0 to 1. The reason for this move is to take the flexibility of the sheet into account. Two tables of procedure were made up in case of analysis and design. Some examples are presented by way of illustrations. Key words : slope, safety, slip surface, slice, geosynthetics.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
