Performance of an Embankment Constructed on Varved Clay
The performance of a 36 ft high embankment constructed in two stages on a deep deposit of varved clay as part of I-91 in Northampton, Mass. is analyzed. The geology, site conditions, field settlement and pore pressure data, and the results of an extensive laboratory program are presented. Emphasis is placed upon comparisons of calculated versus measured field behavior. Factors of safety were determined. Undrained settlements and pore pressures were analyzed. Field consolidation behavior was studied. Recommendations are made regarding soil parameters and methods of analyses for design of future embankments in the area.
