A new reinforcement model has been developed for use in nonlinear finite element analyses of reinforced earth structures. It is illustrated within the code SOILSTRUCT. The layout of the mesh is independent of the number of reinforcement layers. The embedment procedure eliminates the restriction that reinforcement must be placed along element boundaries thus allowing a coarser mesh and improving computational efficiency. Application to design of a reinforced soil berm adjacent to a navigation lock is illustrated.
The 1965 Hope Slide involved almost 50M cubic metres of rock sliding down the southwestern side of Johnson Peak in the Cascade Mountains. Re-evaluation of the slide has included, for the first time, study of discontinuity patterns on the failure surface. Complex geological control was found. Detailed mapping and stereonet analysis shows the detachment surface is governed by multiple discontinuities of different orientation, involving two joint sets and lithotectonic contacts.

Publ New York." ASCE, 1992 (ASCE Special Geotechnical Publication No 31) Anchored geosynthetic systems can be used to stabilise hazardous slopes against shallow failures. Design procedures for such reinforcement are presented. Design charts are given to help optimise choice of anchor length, spacing, and orientation to achieve desired stability. Final selection of design parameters takes into account fabric strength, stress distribution, erosion susceptibility, stratigraphy, and construction details. Example problems illustrate the methodology.

Publ Rotterdam: A A Balkema, 1991 A 2.5km section of the 8.2km long Brutten railway tunnel in Switzerland will cut through poorly cemented Glimmersandstein (micaceous dolomitic sandstone) under very high pore pressure. Once this rock was found during initial drilling, extensive site investigation was carried out. 50 boreholes and an exploratory shaft and gallery have been sunk and long term pumping, grouting, and jet grouting trials and material characterisation carried out. The sandstone shows low hydraulic conductivity and under drained conditions the tunnel face should be stable.

Publ Rotterdam: A A Balkema, 1993 Information gathered over a 10 year period on the geotechnical and hydrological features of the Birmingham Valley is presented. The upper surface of the rock shows broad scale variations mostly parallelling strike of rock layers, and local pinnacles separated by deep cutters. Cuestra type pinnacles may from where joints are very widely spaced. The typical relief for foundation purposes is 3-6m. The interiors of the pinnacles are intact and strong, although the top (up to 3m) may be disaggregated. Groundwater flow is strongly influenced by the rock topography and the infillings. Foundation conditions are variable.

Publ Rotterdam: A A Balkema, 1993 A program of grouting to depths of about 150m beneath the site has been carried out to minimise loss of water from the Logan Martin dam through the underlying aquifer system. The leakage lowers the hydroelectric capability of the dam and may affect stability. Because of ongoing investigations since the 1950s, a large, high quality database for the site is available. Geological controls on water loss are discussed. Deep seated permeability resulting from tensional opening is indicated, at a depth range 100-150m.
