Reinforced embankments—A review of case histories
AbstractA review was made of 37 case histories of reinforced embankments, with heights greater than 1 m, constructed on soft ground. Common characteristics of the cases were identified, and the data summarized in tabular form. Foundation materials were generally soft organic soils, and the embankment fill was usually granular. To maintain an acceptable safety factor it was often necessary to combine reinforcement with other special construction measures such as sand drains, stabilizing berms or light weight fill. Relations between the observed height of reinforced embankments at failure and the undrained foundation shear strength, and between the observed bearing capacity factor and normalized embankment width were examined and compared to available bearing capacity theories.
