Centrifugal and Numerical Modeling of a Reinforced Lime-Stabilized Soil Embankment on Soft Clay with Wick Drains
A centrifuge test was performed on a reinforced embankment backfilled with lime-stabilized soil on soft clay installed with wick drains. The finite-element program PLAXIS was employed to simulate the centrifuge test on the basis of the test dimensions. Verifications of the numerical model were taken by comparing the numerical results with the measurements obtained from the centrifuge test, and it was found that both were in good agreement. Three cases of unreinforced, one-layer reinforced, and two-layer reinforced embankments were simulated and compared on the basis of the numerical model. A centrifuge similarity drainage relationship was also proposed in this paper on the basis of the equal degree of consolidation between the model and prototype drains.
