Ranking and Assessment of Seismic Stability of Highway Embankments in Kentucky
The objectives of this study were to (1) evaluate the seismic stability of over 400 highway embankments along priority routes in Western Kentucky and rank them in terms of risk of failure, (2) provide a preliminary assessment of the seismic stability of the approach embankment of the U.S. 51 bridge across the Ohio River near Wickliffe, Kentucky, and (3) provide a stability assessment of the approach embankments for the U.S. 41 twin spans across the Ohio River near Henderson, Kentucky. Completion of objective (a) required development of some new innovative methods for assessing a multiple of embankments simultaneoulsy. This was done successfully. Objectives (2) and (3) have been completed in accordance with the state of the art as described herein.
