This invention relates to a novel design of reinforced soil arch which can b e used to construct bridges, overpasses, snowsheds, landslide or rock fall protection struc- tures, and the like. More particularly, this invention pertains to an innovative use of mineral soil (clay, silt, sand, gravel, cobbles, boulders, broken rock or mixtures of any or all of the foregoing) to construct a reinforced soil arch that can be used for numerous purposes. A method of constructing a reinforced soil arch structure comprising constructing an arch shape utilizing a combination of alternating layers of compacted mineral soil and reinforcement material so that the arch suppor ts both the dead load of the mineral soil and reinforcement material and a live load imposed on the structure.
