Study of large compacted clay embankment-fill failure
Failure occurred during construction of proposed 70 ft high railway embankment fill; fill was uniform clay of medium plasticity which was used at average moisture content of 3% greater than had been provided for in design; three test holes were drilled in fill and soil samples recovered; properties of field compacted and laboratory compacted soil samples are compared; age of both types of samples has significant effect on test results.
