Abstract:Design and construction of earth embankments on soft formations encounters the problem of excessive total and differential settlements, large lateral displacement and inadequate bearing capacity of such formations. Preloading fills coupled with prefabricated vertical drains (PVD) is one of the soil improvement techniques exhibiting successful use in stabilizing soft clay formations. This study investigates, numerically, the performance of a monitored earth embankment that was constructed on a very soft to soft… Show more
