Abstract: Traditionally, resultant force of lateral earth pressure serves as the basis for design of nearly vertical walls. Conversely, slopes are designed to be internally stable using a factor of safety approach. However, with the ...

Abstract: Current reinforced earth structure designs arbitrarily distinguish between reinforced walls and slopes, that is, the batter of walls is 20° or less while in slopes it is larger than 20°. This has led to disjointed design ...
