This paper provides an overview of the design of thread reinforced soil structures with a particular emphasis on the influence of the strength criterion. Due to the heterogeneity of the material a macroscopic strength criterion is determined and discussed for thread reinforced soil using the homogenization method for periodic medium in the yield design range. Various types of potential failure mechanisms are analyzed and pointed out by using the failure design theory which allows the stability analysis of a reinforced embankment. An account of the results are presented and compared with recent test results. Current evidence on the feasibility of this type of reinforcing is discussed along the variation of different parameters. Conclusion bears on general design and defines some considerations to be included in such analysis.
