Placement Rates for Highway Embankments. Volume III. Theoretical Background and Programmed Formulae
The general precompression analysis for a highway embankment resting on a soft soil can be divided into four parts which deal with (a) the initial increase in pore water pressures due to the application of an embankment load, (b) the associated settlements, (c) the process of consolidation, and (d) the stability of the embankment-foundation system. The four problem areas are described, possible approaches reported in the literature are investigated, and the formulae incorporated into the computer programs are derived. The pore water pressures are computed by use of Skempton's pore pressure coefficients A and B and a solution for the total stress distribution, assuming linear elasticity and plane strain conditions.
