Pre-Class - Reinforced Slopes

Before we can analyze reinforced slopes, we need to understand the different types of reinforcement used in slope stabilization and how they improve the stability of slopes. We also need to know how to alter the limit equilibrium method to account for the presence of reinforcement.
