Embankment on soft ground pdf

Embankment or Fill: Artificial mound of imported material generally made of selected earth, gravel, or stone; built to support the HST when the reference line of As it is not usual to calculate the long-term stability of embankments on soft ground, the evaluation of the effective cohesion is not necessary. However, the bearing capacity of the soft ground is very weak for working as a bank. The procedure of the bank construction includes: preparing the construction area called Cerucuk. The Ministry of Public Works has published a guideline on how to construct an embankment on soft soil or peat soil. Based on the available settlement record for embankment on soft ground, it can be concluded that the prediction of settlement using the hyperbolic method is significantly improved using the start of construction settlement data, notably after more than 50% of the settlements have occurred.

A number of embankments founded on soft clays have become unstable duringconstruction of a major highway project in Malaysia. Furthermore, as the embankments are both high and in many cases poorly compacted, many suffer slope and bearing capacity failure in the wet season as well as heave and consolidation settlement resulting from seasonal water table variation. Embankments are among the most ancient forms of civil engineering structures but are still among the most relevant ones. They are widely used, e.g Embankments may vary significantly in size (height and length). To date the tallest earth dam in the world, the Nurek Dam of Tajikistan in Central Asia, is Treatment of soft foundations for highway embankments. Transportation research board.

An embankment on a soft ground is usually constructed by the smaller safety factor compared to other structures, because the change of design under construction is comparatively easy in the earth work. This makes it especially important in the embankment construction to control safely and quickly The construction of an embankment on soft soil with a high groundwater level leads to an increase in pore pressure. As a result of this undrained behaviour, the effective stress remains low and intermediate consolidation periods have to be adopted in order to construct the embankment safely. In the case of embankments over very soft subsoils it is sometimes advisable to take advantage of the tensile reinforcement provided by a root system Wherever it is economically feasible, the unstable ground should be removed from beneath the embankment and preferably from the sides as well.
