• Abstract:
  Volume II was essentially prepared as an Appendix of supporting information for Volume I. This volume contains much of the supporting theory and a summary of the research used to verify the design approach contained in Volume I, as well as general information concerning proprietary reinforced soil systems. The information provided in this volume is not required for design evaluation and as such Volume I can stand alone. The basis for this volume was the NCHRP 290 report on "Reinforcement of earth slopes and embankment" (Mitchell and Villet, 1987) and the research program performed as part of the contract to develop the design guidelines contained in Volume I. A summary of that research program is contained in the Introduction section of this volume.
