Soil Instrumentation for Interstate 95 Embankment Saugus, Massachusetts
The primary objective for this research is to obtain critically needed fundamental information on the reliability of techniques of predicting deformation (settlement and heave) and stability of heavy embankments placed on thick deposits of soft soils. The research began in September, 1965. This report summarizes progress from the beginning through June 30, 1968, concentrating on documenting the details of the instrumentation and the initial readings. Instrumentation includes (a) observation wells and piezometers to measure the pore water pressures under and adjacent to the embankment at Station 246; (b) inclinometers to measure lateral and vertical deformations at the section; (c) settlement rods to measure the vertical deformations; (d) a deep bench mark to reference the vertical deformations, and (e) total stress cells for measurement of vertical embankment loading were added to investigate arching in the fill. Embankment construction began in December 1967 and continued through June 1968. Most of the instrumentation was installed by June 30, 1968 and functioning well.
