Tong Given the increasing frequency of hydrological disasters and their impact on slope stability, this research focused on investigating the performance of hybrid geosynthetic–reinforced slopes subjected to floods and rainfall. Hydraulic scour apparatuses...

... and slope stability assessment were achieved. Test results indicate that the peak ground acceleration ( PGA ) amplification factors at heights of 400 mm and 600 mm for reinforced slopes are significantly lower than those of unreinforced natural soil slopes. At 0.5 g, unreinforced slopes exhibited...

...C.-C. Huang ABSTRACT: An understanding of the vertical acceleration response of geosynthetic-reinforced slopes subjected to horizontal input ground excitations is essential to robust seismic design. A series of stepwise intensified shaking tests was performed using simple sinusoidal waves...

...S. Sarbishei; A. Fakher ABSTRACT: Limit equilibrium methods are widely used to analyse the stability of reinforced-soil walls. The horizontal slice method (HSM) is a limit equilibrium method developed to analyse the seismic stability analysis of reinforced slopes. Despite the capability of HSM...

Mahajan This paper addresses the static response of geotextile-reinforced slopes resting on a firm foundation to the self-weight loading imposed in a geotechnical centrifuge at pre-failure and at failure. A series of centrifuge tests were carried out on model geotextile...
