Abstract
A variational method is applied to determine the bearing capacity of g eosynthetic-reinforced soil. In this method, the shape of the failure surface and the distribution of the normal stress over it are determin ed by the use of minimizing theorems of variational calculus. Results of the variational method compare well with the experimental results o f other investigators and show a promising trend.
