Abstract
A method of plastic limit analysis of cohesive slopes reinforced with geotextiles is presented. First, the theoretical model of reinforced cohesive soil is presented, then the formulation of boundary value problems by a method of characteristics described. The bearing capacity of reinforced slopes and the failure surfaces are obtained as the solution to the system of governing equations. The method proposed allows for studying the influence of design parameters, like the unit weight of the soil, the angle of internal friction, cohesion, and the amount of reinforcement, on the stability of reinforced soil structures.
