STABL6 WITH REINFORCING LAYER OPTION -- USER'S MANUAL. IMPLEMENTATION REPORT

The capability to analyze reinforced embankments has been incorporated into the STABL slope stability analysis program. The new program is called STABL6. This user's manual describes how the simplified Bishop's method was modified to include reinforcing layers. The modified program can analyze multiple reinforcing layers and allows the orientation of the reinforcing force to be specified. Input instructions and an example problem for the reinforcing layer option are given.
