Lateral Sliding
W = h
= Density of embankment fills
h = average height of the
embankment fill above the
reinforcement length (Le) in meter
Ls = Horizontal projection of the
lateral slope
Le = Reinforcement Bond Length
= Interaction coefficient
= Angle of internal friction for
embankment fill
c = Cohesion of the embankment fill
Ka = Active earth pressure coefficient
for embankment fill
H = Height of embankment in meter

Other considerations
Seismic consideration:
as per IRC: 75 guidelines along with the IS:1893(Part-1)-2002
Settlement analysis
permissible total settlement using conventional methods
No reduction in total settlement
Decrease in differential settlement
Settlement results in increased tension allowable strain check
necessary

Selection Of Geosynthetic
Material
Based on the following
parameters:
Strength requirements
Drainage requirements
Environmental considerations
Strength requirement:
In terms of material, environmental exposure, Specifications
8

Drainage requirements:
Should not develop excess pore pressure
Should have enough piping resistance and not have clogging problem
Environmental conditions:
Should have very high resistance to chemical and biological attacks
In unusual cases (very low (< 3) or very high (> 9) pH soils, mines,
chemically active, acidic soils) compatibility needs to be checked
