Use of Geotextile Reinforced Slope for Containment Facility Dike
Geotextiles have been used successfully in the construction of retaining structures and in order to make fill slopes steeper. This paper presents a case history where a reinforced slope section was incorporated into the design cross section of a dike around a dredged material containment facility (DMCF). The paper provides a brief discussion of the dike that was designed to retain dredged materials that will be pumped in to the containment facility periodically. The alignment of the dike was located in the area of previous shoreline and contained remnants of previous structures. This necessitated the need for a slope cross section that would remain stable in the event the existing previous remnants were to collapse and induce a ground loss condition. The dike that was constructed encompassing the stabilized portion of the slope and the overall stability of the dike is also briefly discussed.
