Application of Coulomb's Method to Reinforced Soil Structures
Coulomb's Method can be adapted to reinforced soil structures. The use of this method may provide insight into unexpected behavior of reinforced soils. For example, these structures can support loads satisfactorily although reinforcement is undermobilized. This fact has been noted in recent literature. Moreover, the original objective was to explain that the observed angle of failure is not the angle calculated using the Rankine theory. The conclusion is that once the observed angle is known or predicted, more accurate calculations of deformation and capacity might be possible, reducing unexpected behavior. Calculation based on this method is compared with an instrumented test case published by the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA).
