The influence of lateral spreading on settlements beneath a fill
Keyword(s):
The discrepancy between calculated consolidation settlements and measured settlements under a 3.8 m high section of an earth embankment is investigated in this paper. A conventional one-dimensional analysis underestimated the observed settlement by 40%. A two-dimensional finite-element analysis was carried out to assess the effects of lateral spreading on vertical movements, and the results were in close agreement with the measured values. Key words : case history, consolidation, finite element analysis, settlement.
