Soil creep effects on ground lateral deformation and pore water pressure under embankments

摘要: Analysing the behaviour of soft ground under embankments is a challenging task and significant interest to practising geotechnical engineers. This paper revisits well known case study an embankment Boston Blue Clay, which was thoroughly instrumented measured with piezometers, settlement rods inclinometers over long time period during after construction. The soil parameters were very comprehensively collected by both in situ laboratory tests several major test programs. considering modified Cam-Clay model including excluding creep simulated using finite element method. analysed data are verified field measurements parametric conducted evaluate influence index on excess pore water pressures generated displacement embankment. It observed that horizontal displacements increased th...
