Geotextile reinforced slope with cohesive backfill
Geotextile reinforced slope with cohesive backfill
(OP)
I am looking for references for geotextile reinforced slopes with cohesive backfill. I am aware that typically cohesionless soils are used for backfill, however, it is desireable to use the onsite cohesive soils if possible due to the large area.

What is the slope supporting? If you wouldn't be happy putting your foundations on that material un-reinforced don't do it just because it has a bit of geogrid in it. While you can undoubtedly get the slope to stand up, the cohesive backfill will settle and creep more or less as it would before being reinforced.
