Stability of Embankments on Soft Ground Lessons from Failures
1995
A number of embankments founded on soft clays have become unstable during
construction of a major highway project in Malaysia. Three of the embankments
were back analysed based on their geometries before the failure. Measured in
situ vane shear strengths were used in total stress analyses to determine the factor
of safety at failure. Performances of the soft clay foundation with regards to
vertical and horizontal displacements, and piezometric response, when the failure
was imminent were also described.
