Assessing the Deterioration of Ageing Infrastructure Earthworks
Earthworks (embankments and cuts) are a major component of the physical infrastructure required to deliver critical transport and energy services over long distances. In the U.K., thousands of miles of earthworks support the strategic road and railway networks. This transport infrastructure includes some of the oldest railway earthworks in the world (c.1830s), many of which are cuts in high-plasticity clays and at various stages of deterioration. Some of this infrastructure is beyond the limit of the intended (or notional) design life and therefore requires targeted maintenance and renewal to maintain a safe and serviceable condition.
