Abstract:This reference manual is an update of 2002 Reference Manual (FHWA NHI-01-026) for the 2 ½ day NHI Course 132033 “Soil Slope and Embankment Design”. This manual describes the basic principles of soil slope stability and state-of-the-practice analysis and design procedures for soil slopes and embankments with particular application to transportation facilities. The main topics covered in this manual include: geotechnical and geological factors affecting the performance of soil slopes and embankments; fundamental concepts of soil mechanics with respect to slope stability and settlement; limit equilibrium methods to analyze soil slopes and available computer programs; design, construction and performance of highway embankments; investigation and mitigation of landslides; common alternatives for soil slope stabilization; and construction inspection and long-term maintenance.
