Abstract
Proper estimation of soil reinforcement loads is key to accurate internal stability design of geogrid reinforces soil walls. In this paper the estimation model of soil reinforcement loads, called K-stiffness Method as proposed by Allen et al. (2003) is extended to the case of facing battered walls. Design methodology with the modified method also discussed. Modified K-stiffness Method can result in substantial cost saving.
