... packing) and that if the content of fines exceeds about 35%, the coarse particles are dispersed in a matrix of fine. The internal stability of a granular soil mainly depends on soil GSD, relative density and applied hydraulic gradient (that generates the drag force acting on the soil particles...

... is not explicitly captured in these methods, a number of limitations exist in estimating the maximum reinforcement load and pullout resistance. This paper presents a new method called the soil–reinforcement interaction method to assess the internal stability of reinforced soil structures. As a part of its...

... with regard to internal stability are presented. The most frequently observed failure surface occurring during a seismic event is a logarithmic spiral failure surface, which is chosen for the internal seismic stability analysis as shown in Figure 1 . The objective is to determine the reinforcement...

...S. S. Nimbalkar; D. Choudhury; J. N. Mandal Determination of the internal stability of reinforced soil walls under earthquake conditions is an important part of seismic design. The horizontal method of slices is used for determining internal stability or for tieback analysis of the reinforced soil...
