Maximum slope angle for geosynthetic-lined slopes
June 1, 2009 | Q&A: GMA Techline
By Timothy D. Stark Q: Is there a maximum slope angle for geosynthetic-lined slopes? A: Yes there is, and the slope angle should not exceed the lowest geosynthetic interface friction angle, δ, of the system. The slope angle should not exceed δ because this condition can/will lead to tens…
