Final Report of Research Project R12-2. Movement and Stability of Cuts and Fills
This report describes the accomplishments of an 11-year research program conducted in cooperation with the Massachusetts Department of Public Works and the Federal Highway Administration. The primary objective of the research was to obtain fundamental information on the reliability of techniques for predicting deformation, pore pressures and stability of embankments placed on a thick deposit of soft soil. Prediction techniques were evaluated by comparing predicted performance with performance measured primarily at two test sections, one of which was loaded to a stability failure on an embankment fill north of Boston. This report gives the main conclusions from the research in terms of how well different prediction techniques indicated actual performance. Tenative recommendations relative to design and construction are given for five topics: stability, deformations, pore pressures, construction control and instrumentation. References describing research results in more detail are included.
