The objective is establish design criteria for tension in the reinforcement of reinforced-soil, also called 'mechanically stabilized soil' (Christopher et al, 1989). The questions addressed are: (1) What are the strains in the soil and the reinforcement at failure; (2) What are the factors that control the strain; (3) What are the loading conditions or safety factors for which the strains should be computed. The findings on the above questions are used to derive a set of criteria for choosing the strain and tensile force in the reinforcement to be used in design. While the specific topic of the research is the design of reinforced-soil embankments on compressible soils, with the test embankment for I-670 as an example, the results have been generalized to include embankments on firm soils.
