Design of reinforced foundations by the slip-line method
Abstract
A design technique for reinforced foundations, based on the application of the slip-line method, is explored in this paper. The failure criteria for reinforced soils are presented. The slip-line method is used to analyze reinforced foundations. Design charts are produced allowing one to design the reinforcement strength, length and number of reinforcement layers for reinforced soil foundations. A design example is provided.
