10. Geosynthetic Reinforcement: For single type reinforcement, the user can select reinforcement at fixed spacing and length (quickest).  Alternatively, the elevation and length of each layer can be input. The ultimate strength, the corresponding reduction factors, the coverage ratio and the designated name, need to be input using the spreadsheet-like table or retrieved from a user-created database (ReSSA enables the user to create a database).   The relevant interaction parameters can be accessed from this dialog. Up to 10 layers of reinforcement can be embedded below the user-defined "toe." This means that 10 layers can be embedded in the foundation soil to increase, for example, bearing capacity.
