Simplified Calculation of Embankment Deformations

H. G. Poulos / J. R. Booker / G. J. Ring

A simple method is described for obtaining the observed displacements during incremental construction of an embankment from the 'single-lift' displacements given by conventional elastic theory. This method requires no specialized techniques or computational methods. A number of solutions are presented for the displacements and stresses within a homogeneous embankment resting on a rough rigid base, and the application of these solutions to practical problems involving non-homogeneous embankments and consolidation movements is discussed. For a rockfill embankment comparisons between predicted settlements, observed values and values predicted from a finite element analysis suggest that the proposed simple method is useful for obtaining rapid estimates of embankment deformations.
