Predicted and Observed Behaviour of a Test Embankment on Malaysian Soft Clays
The authors were invited by the Malaysian Highway Authority to participate in the prediction of geotechnical performance in a large and comprehensive full scale trial embankment test on very soft Malaysian marine clay. Both basic in-situ and laboratory geotechnical data were provided to the predictors together with the embankment and site details. The paper describes the use of the conventional limit equilibrium slip circle method, and elasto-plastic finite element methods (using both a total stress soil model and an effective stress soil model) to predict the embankment behavior during the field trial. The predictions were mainly concerned with the stability of the embankment and the development of vertical and horizontal deformations and excess pore pressures. Some of the computer predictions are compared with hand solutions which were carried out using simple conventional geotechnical methods. Comparisons are presented between measured and predicted behavior, and predictions by three other predictors are also summarized.
