DISCRETE FRAMEWORK FOR LIMIT EQUILIBRIUM ANALYSIS OF FIBRE REINFORCED SOIL (2002)

A methodology is proposed for the design of fibre-reinforced soil slopes using a discrete framework. The analysis of fibre-reinforced soil using traditional composite approaches requires the implementation of laboratory testing programmes on composite fibre-reinforced soil specimens to characterise the material properties. Instead, the analysis of fibre-reinforced soil using a discrete approach can be conducted by independent characterisation of soil specimens and of fibre specimens, since the contributions of soil and fibres are treated separately.
