Reinforcement of Earth Slopes and Embankments

摘要

The report provides a handbook-type reference for the practicing engineer in considering applications of earth reinforcement to construct embankments and stabilize existing slopes--an alternative to conventional retaining wall construction. The report includes an all-inclusive overview of earth reinforcement and details on specific earth reinforcement systems covering their mechanisms, behavior, applications, designs, and durability--filling a void in current U.S. literature.
