Preference for design method?
None
BS8006 - Global stability check typically using Bishops Simplified Method
HA68/94 - UK Highways Agency method assumes stable and competent foundation soils
Other please specify
Geogrid Wraparound (45 to 70) - Requiring external or internal formwork for construction purposes
SMP (60 to 70) - Steel Mesh Panels as initial formwork then stiff face to allow vegetation
Please specify Galvanised or Self-Colour Steel Mesh Panels
Tensar Mat (<45) topsoiled slopes up to 45
SMFU (60 to 70) Steel Mesh Facing Units act as individual face panels
Combination please specify face angles required
No preference facing type dictated by face angles noted
Examples to illustrate each of the above are available from Tensar International

5 kN/m2
10 kN/m2
12 kN/m2
20 kN/m2
24 kN/m2
* Backslope angle must not be greater than the angle of friction of the reinforced fill. If it is zero then
state zero.

Soil Properties:
Please ensure that the correct value of phi' is entered, i.e. ' pk or ' cv and that it is clearly indicated.
For a design in accordance with HA68/94 backfill and reinforced fill parameters must be identical, i.e.
the same material. If no information is made available for the foundation soils or fill then the client must
be made aware that the assumptions will be made that it is stable and a well graded granular material.
Foundation Soils
The foundations soils will form the foundation to the Tensar reinforced soil retaining slope and will
therefore have a direct impact on the global stability of the proposed structure. Geogrid extents will be
influenced greatly by these parameters.

If information is available in the form of a Site Investigation, relevant extracts should be selected. If
large/comprehensive documents are sent as attachments, the required response time will be adjusted
accordingly to suit required understanding of Site Investigation information.
