AN APPROACH TO ESTIMATE REQUIRED GEOSYNTHETICS STRENGTH IN REINFORCED SLOPES WITH INCLINED BACKSLOPE FOR STATIC AND SEISMIC LOADING

摘要: An approach to estimate the required strength of geosynthetics in reinforced earth structures with inclined backslope under static and seismic loading conditions is presented this paper. The results were achieved a developed algorithm, based on pseudo-static limit equilibrium analyses, that assumes two-part wedge failure mechanism. Design charts obtain equivalent pressure coefficients potential surfaces are presented. Given slope angle, design value soil friction height slope, unit weight coefficients, one can determine for structure equilibrium. This paper intends broaden available geosynthetic non-horizontal backslopes loading, as well as, provide helpful tool preventive measures unstable slopes. These also particularly useful those cases which classical theories underestimate force
