Charts for Remediation of Highly Plastic Clay Embankments in Texas
Clay embankments along Texas highways have been prone to shallow slope failures that occur a number of years after construction. Typical embankments that have failed are constructed of highly plastic clays, with heights ranging from 3 o 9 m (10 to 30 ft) and their side slopes at 2:1 or flatter. This report presents the development of design charts for shallow slides. Strengthenting of the soil with additives and reinforcement with geosynthetics are the two methods considered. Numerous limit equilibrium slope stability analyses were performed to define the effects of soil and reinforcement strength properties and the geometry of the remediated zone. Results of these analyses were plotted in dimensionless form to produce design charts to assist engineers in the remediation of shallow slope failures.
