Direction and magnitude of reinforcement force in embankments on soft soils
Abstract
The influence of the direction of reinforcement force on the rotational stability of reinforced embankments on soft soils has been investigated. Assuming the failure surface to be an arc of a circle, solutions have been developed for different directions of reinforcement force. A typical example has been analyzed to illustrate the use of the solutions.
