Check for tensile strength (georeinforcement No.2)
Tensile strength Rt = 30.94 kN/m
Geo-reinforcement force Fx = 16.19 kN/m
Factor of safety = 1.91 > 1.50
Geo-reinforcement for tensile strength is SATISFACTORY

Check for pull out resistance (georeinforcement No.8)

Pull out resistance Tp = 13.24 kN/m
Geo-reinforcement force Fx = 8.82 kN/m
Factor of safety = 1.50 > 1.50
Geo-reinforcement for pull out resistance is SATISFACTORY

Overall verification - geo-reinforcement is SATISFACTORY
