Abstract:
Artificial structures such as embankments built during the construction of highways influence the surrounding airflow. Various types of damage can occur due to changes in the wind velocity and temperature around highway embankments. However, no study has accurately measured micrometeorological changes (wind velocity and temperature) due to embankments. This study conducted a wind tunnel test and field measurement to identify changes in wind velocity and temperature before and after the construction of embankments around roads. Changes in wind velocity around an embankment after its construction were found to be influenced by the surrounding wind velocity, wind angle, and the level difference and distance from the embankment. When the level difference from the embankment was large and the distance was up to 3H, the degree of wind velocity declines was found to be large. In changes in reference wind velocities around the embankment, wind velocity increases were not proportional to the rate at which wind velocities declined. The construction of the embankment influenced surrounding temperatures. The degree of temperature change was large in locations with large level differences from the embankment at daybreak and during evening hours when wind velocity changes were small.

Abstract:
The embankments act as a life line for deltaic people of the Sundarbans. The reclamation of immature land through the construction of embankment without proper planning has been increasing the vulnerability of embankment breaching due to various natural and anthropogenic causes. The construction and maintenance of embankments are difficult tasks without prior knowledge about the mode of vulnerability and ground situations of the sites. To understand the scenario of embankment breaching and its recent management strategy, an intensive field survey was conducted to comprehend the underlying reasons for embankment breaching and its management techniques at the ground level. The modern techniques were also incorporated to identify the vulnerable sites of river bank erosion. The study reveals that the southern part of the delta is more vulnerable due to intensive river bank erosion. To understand potential capabilities of these embankments to combat against fluvio-hydrological challenges, a sequential change of embankment construction from historical past to present and recent scientific engineering model of Aila Dam has been chalked out in this study. The present study is an attempt to understand the geo-historical perspectives of embankment construction and to identify the vulnerable coastal zone of Gosaba Island of Sundarban. The study also aims to illustrate the modern techniques of embankment management for its longevity in such a dynamic land.

Abstract:
The behaviour of geosynthetic-reinforced embankments constructed over soft cohesive soils installed with prefabricated vertical drains (PVDs) is investigated by numerically examining an embankment constructed over different foundation soils. The partial consolidation during embankment construction, the consequent shear strength gain of the foundation soil, and the effect of the use of reinforcement on the mobilization of shear strength are examined. It is shown that the combined use of reinforcement and PVDs can significantly increase embankment stability and potentially allow the rapid construction of higher embankments than could be achieved with either method of soil improvement alone. Construction rate and spacing of PVDs can significantly affect the degree of consolidation at the end of construction and the stability of the embankment. For the situation examined, the effect of well resistance of typical vertical drains is insignificant. A relatively simple method for calculating the degree of consolidation and the strength gain of the foundation soil during construction is evaluated based on finite element results and is shown to be reasonably conservative. A design procedure is proposed to combine the design of reinforcement and PVDs.Key words: soft clay, prefabricated vertical drain, reinforcement, embankment stability, consolidation, strength gain.

Abstract:
In the project of the fill section widening of the cantilever high retaining wall of the old embankment, the construction of the embankment widening is carried out under the condition of allowing cars to drive through. As the stability of the old embankment and the normal and safe car driving shall be guaranteed, the cantilever reinforcement high retaining wall can’t be dismantled once for all or completely during the widening process, and the conventional construction of excavating the steps for joining the new and old embankments. This paper aims to solve the defects of the conventional construction method by introducing a newly-developed construction technology of embankment widening of waterside cantilever high retaining wall, which can effectively solve the anti-floating problem of the light-weight embankment, prevent the differential deformation at the joint of the wall bottom plate and the reinforced concrete continuous slab of the cantilever retaining wall, and improve the bearing capacity of the embankment.

Abstract:
Fly ash represents a residue that occurs as a product of burning finely milled particles of coal in thermal power plants. The fly ash in the construction of embankments in road construction can be used with or without the addition of binders. For the construction of embankment from the ashes, aside embankments (trapezoid shape) are placed. Justification of this study is the fact that so huge amounts of this material are left aside, while there are great possibilities for using of natural materials in the construction of roads.

Abstract:
Construction of high-grade highways is an important action to meet the requirement of communication and transportation in permafrost regions. Frame embankment is proposed to reduce the scale effects caused by wide pavement. Numerical simulation method is employed to analyze the improvement of frame embankment for thermal stability of roadbed, with the consideration of global warming. Compared the response of permafrost at symmetric position of each embankment to construction, the consistency degree of response is taken as decision fundament. Two indexes are selected, that is, the difference of permafrost table between the embankment and that at natural side, and the change of mean annual geothermal under the embankment. Additionally, the convenient for construction and wind-blown sand hazard are considered to determine reasonable frame space. So, numerical simulation of flow field of wind around embankments is carried out. It is concluded that the minimum space between two embankment is 6 m. The aim of this study is to provide scientific guidelines on construction of major permafrost engineering in the future.

Abstract:
For staging the construction of embankments on soft clay, an important aspect in deterministic or probabilistic stability analyses is the assessment of the representative average values and associated uncertainties for the undrained shear strength as the height of the embankment is sequentially increased. Assessments made prior to construction can be verified by performing observations during the construction phase. All relevant available information should be incorporated into an analysis to increase the level of confidence and the objectivity of the assessment. To this end, we apply an extended multivariate approach to assess the undrained shear strength using different indirect measurement methods during the staged construction of the Veda embankment (Sweden). This multivariate approach implies that uncertainties associated with the assessments are reduced, and objectively weighted averages are obtained. The resulting implications on the calculated deterministic safety factors and the probabilistically retrieved reliability indices of the embankment are thoroughly discussed in this work.

Abstract:
Geosynthetics–reinforced structures are widely used in embankments and walls. This paper presents the simulation of the embankment under load in order to compare the behavior of clay embankment with and without wrapping-facing-geosynthetics-reinforcement using finite element method (FEM) and to analyse the variation of behavior included of displacement and excess pore pressure under the different over-consolidation ratios (OCR). The calculation results show that embankment with higher OCR showing lower displacement compare to embankment with lower OCR. However, OCR isn’t very sensitive to the dissipation of excess pore pressure. Geosynthetics-reinforcements could reduce the displacement of embankment and accelerate dissipation of excess pore pressure after construction and surcharge. Gravel, geosynthetics-reinforcement and clay soil are properly combined, clayey soil is expected to be useful as embankment material.

Abstract:
In view of the settlement problem of high loess-filled embankments themselves, with the reference of the 30m high embankment at K5 +536 of Lan Lin provincial expressway and by means of the centrifugal model test, the developing process of the settlement for embankment itself with time in different sections of embankment and the distribution laws of the settlement subjected from spatial effect in case of the different terrain conditions are studied. Compared with the actual measurement, the results show that: as far as the settlement of high-filled embankment itself is concerned, the settlement at the central part along the cross-section of embankment is larger than that at shoulder; When the stability of embankment is relatively poor because of the bigger slope ratio or faster speed of construction, the settlement at the shoulder caused by the lateral extrusion from the edge of embankment is larger; The settlement of embankment itself is approximately 0.5% -1% of the height of embankment, about 75% -85% of which occurred during the construction period and the remaining 15% -25% belongs to after construction. Furthermore, the 85% of the settlement belong to after construction will be completed within a year and about two years later the settlement tend to be stable; Owing to the affection of the spatial effect due to the valley terrain conditions, the settlement near the joint sites between the embankment and the gully is larger than that occurred in gentle slope and the central part of embankment. During the time of designing and construction for high-filled embankment, the location where the settlement influenced by the lateral extrusion and spatial effect should be paid attention to, so that, the security and stability of the embankment could be ensured.

Abstract:
The construction of urban cross-river tunnels usually requires passing under river embankments, which inevitably disturbs the embankment substratum and causes ground deformation. Previous engineering cases have shown that embankment settlement is greater than ordinary surface settlement and that uneven settlement results in cracks of in the embankment, reducing the embankment stability. Based on a cross-river tunnel project in China, the construction risks caused by the additional stress on the embankment substratum, asymmetrical embankment load, and shield tunneling in saturated fine sand are analyzed during a large-diameter slurry shield tunneling below an urban river embankment diagonally. Additionally, relevant risk control measures, such as slurry pressure, jacking thrust setting, and driving velocity in the saturated fine sand stratum, are evaluated. The results show that during shield tunneling under a diagonal urban river embankment, the additional stress and asymmetrical load effects should be considered, and the shield slurry pressure and jacking thrust should be adjusted according to the distance between the cutter head and the embankment. Furthermore, based on settlement monitoring data, the driving velocity of the shield should be reasonably adjusted in a timely manner to avoid disturbing the fine sand stratum below the embankment.

Abstract:
The objective of this research work was to gain a better understanding of the interaction between loads applied on the surface of soils, and the behaviour of adjacent long, vertical piles, embedded at depth in a stiff substratum. The influence of lateral thrust on the piles in an upper soft clay layer, due to simulated embankment construction, was examined and soil- pile interaction mechanisms were identified both for behaviour at working load and at the ultimate lateral capacity. The performance of a row of free headed piles and of a pile group were investigated experimentally in the geotechnical centrifuge for different pile and foundation geometries. Pile response, in terms of bending moment, deflection and lateral pressure, was determined for surcharge loads applied to the centrifuge model. This experimental database was used to calibrate a three dimensional finite element analysis of the same, simplified, model. These investigations led to the development of an approximate formula for lateral loading, based on the differential movement between the piles and the surrounding soil, which accounted for pile spacing, relative pile-soil stiffness and the degree of soil strength mobilisation. This loading function was incorporated in a computer program, SIMPLE, which calculated the pile bending moment and deflection profiles for flexible piles and pile groups. The algorithm was checked against the centrifuge model test results and the numerical analyses, and design charts were produced for free headed piles only. Finally a design procedure was recommended for piled full-height bridge abutments and other facilities which feature passive lateral loading of piles by a nearby surcharge.

Abstract:
In-situ piezocone, flat dilatometer, and screw plate tests were carried out adjacent to the site of several large earth embankments, founded on a deep deposit of compressible soil. Settlement records since construction were available for two of the embankments. Geotechnical parameters were not back analyzed from the case record, rather, embankment performance was predicted on the basis of parameters interpreted from the in-situ tests alone. Consolidation characteristics were interpreted from the measurement of dissipation of excess pore pressures using the piezocone and dilatometer. Both devices provided complementary results in terms of an appropriate coefficient of consolidation. The excellent stratigraphic profile furnished by the piezocone (CPTU) tests proved to be a most valuable feature. The stratigraphic detail provided by the CPTU tests performed across the site identified continuous, free (framing soil layers which would generally be missed in a conventional geotechnical investigation using a drilled borehole with discrete sampling. The identification of these layers was of paramount importance in the prediction of settlement rate. A one-dimensional analysis formed the basis for the settlement predictions, and was found to be satisfactory. Settlement magnitudes were predicted within 10% of the observed measurements, parallelling the observed rate of settlement throughout the embankment construction period in the early 1970's and to the present date. Key words: settlement, deltaic soils, embankment, in-situ testing, piezocone, flat dilatometer, screw plate, coefficient of consolidation, compressibility, pore pressure dissipation.

Abstract:
In this work, the effect of Fly Ash (FA) on fine sand and its suitability as a civil engineering material for construction of embankments is investigated. The thesis is concerned with the role of FA content in stabilised soil physical characteristics. The aim of the study presented in this thesis is to examine the suitability of class F FA as a construction material in geotechnical engineering projects. This is achieved through combination of experimental analysis and numerical simulations. Experimental analyses (in accordance with British Standards) were conducted by applying compaction, particle size distribution, bearing capacity tests and resilient modulus, derived from California Bearing Ratio (CBR), while numerical simulation was carried out using finite element and lagrangian finite difference analysis. For the purpose of this thesis, all the samples were tested before and after being treated with four different curing durations, 1 week, 2 weeks, 4 weeks and 8 weeks, and three variations of FA content, 5%, 10% and 15%. The samples were also mixed with 3% of cement as the activator. In this thesis, the research aims and objectives are stated in the introduction chapter, followed by the literature review on FA, soil stabilisation and ground improvement. The research methodology and details about the materials used, are then presented and discussed. The numerical simulations and results are finally presented. FA stabilized samples, with an accurate mixture, were shown to have lower dry densities while producing higher strengths than the sand. Potentially making it an effective material suitable for use in embankment construction and projects alike.

Abstract:
It is envisaged that flood plains will be put into more active usage to meet the increasing demands for road infrastructural development as well as relieve the pressure exerted on arable lands owing to infrastructural development activities. This is consequent upon the general shortfall in the availability of soils possessing the right engineering properties to carry infrastructures such as roads which consume large tracks of land. Expanding the global infrastructural base is inevitable due to the ever increasing human population and the need to meet their social, economic, political and transportation needs. However, owing to the prevailing environmental awareness campaigns fronted by different environmental agencies, there is the need to regulate and monitor the interaction of the processes involved in the provision of these needs with the limited resources as well as the environmental aftermath associated with such operations. The stabilization of flood plain soils for road embankment construction is envisaged to reduce the demand on the material resources required to build classical high embankments in flood prone areas as well as offer implied mitigating dimensions in the restoration of environmental integrity. This impliedly will reduce the use of traditionally unsustainable methods of soil stabilization such as, the excavation and importation of new materials, to a more robust system that will offer environmental friendliness amidst value engineering for better strength and durability results. The experimental processes involved the simulation of flooding scenarios in the laboratory, to monitor the strength and durability aspects of low-bearing-capacity soils (such as Lower Oxford Clay) stabilized with blended mixes of the traditional stabilizer of lime and the novel materials of lime and Ground Granulated Blastfumace Slag (GOBS) by-product combined. Preliminary investigations were carried out on the Lower Oxford Clay soil to establish the moisture and compaction requirements of the material. Different mix compositions were formulated by incrementally replacing the amount of lime in the system with GOBS. This was based on the premise that high stabilizer contents could offer better stabilization to flood susceptible geo-materials upon flooding. A high stabilizer level of 16% was therefore investigated. Regimes of different blending ratios were established as follows: 16%Lime-0%GGBS, 12%Lime-4%GGBS, 8%Lime-8%GGBS, 4%Lime-12%GGBS and 0%Lime-16%GGBS and tested at moisture contents of 23%, 28%, 33% and 38%. The two extremes 16%Lime-0%GGBS and 0%Lime-16GGBS were used as controls. A system of elimination based on strength criteria was employed, where only the 8%Lime- 8%GGBS and 4%Lime-12%GGBS mixtures were deemed fit to be investigated further to determine their resistance to challenging environmental factors of flooding. The test samples were cylindrical, measuring 50 mm in diameter and 100 mm long, and these were compacted using a static compaction apparatus to achieve Maximum Dry Density (MDD). Depending on the testing regime to be applied to a given specimen, a curing pattern was defined and samples were wrapped in cling film to minimise moisture losses. At the end of each curing period of 7, 14, 28, 56 and 90 days, one of the experimental procedures which ranged from Unconfined Compressive Strength, Water Absorption, Volume Stability, Permeability, Soaked Strength and Durability Index Assessment or Compressibility Assessment was carried out on the moist cured samples. Following these assessments, the 4%Lime-12%GGBS mix composition was appraised to have overall improved characteristics with the added benefit of reduced cost of material utilisation. Based on the available data, regression analyses were carried out and equations established for predicting the strength values of stabilized materials. Using these equations further extrapolations were made and the observable trends were those of the dependence of compressive strength on the age of moist curing and the compaction moisture contents at which samples were produced at given blended mixture. Cost-benefit-risk analysis was also carried out with a further cost annualisation of the capital and operational cost of a selected system. It is reassuring to learn that at replacement level of lime with GOBS of 4%Lime-12%GGBS it was possible to establish multi-binder mixtures that could be effectively used for sustainable construction in flood prone areas with enormous savings accruing from the possible higher strength and enhanced durability indices achievable over traditional unsustainable options of continued over-reliance on lime and Portland cement.

Abstract:
In this dissertation, the behavior of geosynthetic reinforced embankments constructed on soft cohesive foundations under undrained and partially drained conditions is examined by conducting a rigorous numerical analysis using the finite element method for some particular case studies. Special attention is given to the mobilized strains in the geosynthetic reinforcement at embankment failure, short and long-term working conditions state and during staged construction considering the influence of the time-dependency of the system in terms of construction rate, excess pore pressure dissipation and viscous deformations in the soil foundation (i.e., creep). The effects of reinforcement stiffness and adopted constitutive model are also investigated. The obtained results highlight the importance of assessing the allowable compatible reinforcement strain at failure and taking into account this soil-reinforcement interaction. It is illustrated the significant combined influence of consolidation process and soft soil creep deformation on the numerically observed embankment performance at working conditions, particularly in terms of mobilized reinforcements strains. Finally, an approximate approach for studying numerically staged constructed embankments is presented, pointing out the adequate definitions of Limit States for the considered stages and the effects of time in the embankment behavior.

Abstract:
In the Northern areas the total thickness of structural layers in railway embankments is primarily governed by the design against harmful effect of seasonal frost. Because practically no frost heave can be allowed to take place on railway tracks with normal speed passenger traffic, the embankment must typically be built up to two or even two and a half meters thick. Meantime, the embankments have typically fairly steep slopes, for instance in Finland track embankments are normally built using a slope ratio of 1:1.5. Introduction of higher allowable axle loads and traffic speeds is, however, exposing the embankments structures to continuously increasing intensity of repeated loading which is also increasing the rate of permanent deformations accumulating into the embankment structure. In practical terms the embankment is widening as it deforms and the respective movements of the track must be compensated by more frequent maintenance actions. The most straightforward measures to increase the internal stability of a railway embankment are to make the embankment wider and/or to reduce the slope steepness of the embankment. Both of these actions mean, however, larger space requirement for the railway track and, above all, extensive increase in the use of high-quality non-frost-susceptible aggregate materials in connection with the embankment construction or renovation. Therefore, taking into account both the construction time costs on one hand and the maintenance costs of the track on the other hand, optimisation of the embankment dimensions and shape is an important issue regarding the life cycle costs of a railway line. In a research project going on at the Laboratory of Earth and Foundation Structures of the Tampere University of Technology the above mentioned problem is being studied by in-situ monitoring of a full scale railway track embankment having sections that are shaped in different embankment widths and slope angles. The long term deformations of the embankment have been monitored for about three years in addition to which also the short term responses of the embankment structure have been measured while trains are passing over the monitoring sections. In addition, model scale (1:4) test structures with different embankment widths and slope angles have been tested in laboratory using a loading system consisting of five hydraulic actuators operating consecutively so as to simulate the loading effect of a moving train. The results obtained so far indicate clearly that it is not only the embankment width and slope angle that are decisive concerning the permanent deformation behaviour of the railway embankment, but also the subgrade stiffness plays an important role in the overall performance of the embankment structure.

Abstract:
Union Pacific Railroad’s Moffat Tunnel Subdivision, west of Denver, Colorado, was significantly impacted by an approximately 500 to 1,000 year storm event that occurred between September 9, 2013 and September 13, 2013. As a result of this historic event, washouts, earth slides, and debris flows severely impacted track infrastructure by eroding track embankments, destabilizing surrounding native slopes, and overwhelming stormwater infrastructure. Emergency response activities performed to restore track operations at Milepost (MP) 25.65 and MP 22.86 required the integration of civil, hydraulic, environmental and geotechnical engineering disciplines into emergency response and construction management efforts. Additionally, support from UPRR’s Real Estate Division was required when addressing private ownership and site access issues. The following text summarizes how coordinated efforts between various groups worked together in a pressure setting to restore rail service. The most significant damage occurred at MP 25.65 in a mountainous slot canyon between two tunnels accessible only by rail and consisted of a washout, approximately 200 feet (61 m) in length with a depth of 100 feet (30 m). MP 22.86 experienced slides on both sides of the track resulting in an unstable and near vertical track embankment which required significant fill and rock armoring. In addition to the embankment failures at MP 22.86, flood flows scoured around the underlying creek culvert, further threatening the geotechnical stability of the track embankment. The storm event highlighted the vulnerability of fill sections, where original construction used trestles. The repair plan engineered for MP 25.65 was developed to restore the lost embankment fill to near pre-flood conditions while limiting environmental impacts in order to minimize regulatory permitting requirements. Fill replacement performed during the initial emergency response was completed within 22 days, notwithstanding site remoteness and difficult access. Repair of the embankment required the placement of approximately 90,000 cubic yards (68,800 cubic meters) of fill and installation of four 48-inch (122-cm) culverts. Repair of embankment sloughing and scour damage at MP 22.86 was accomplished without the need for environmental permits by working from above the ordinary high water mark, using a “one track in – one track out” approach while restoring infrastructure to pre-flood conditions. A new headwall to address flow around the culvert inlet received expedited permit authorization from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers by limiting the construction footprint through implementation of best management practices and minimizing placement of fill below the ordinary high water mark. Service interruptions, such as those at MP 22.86 and MP 25.65, require sound engineering practices that can be quickly and efficiently implemented during emergency response situations that often occur in less than ideal working environments. Track outages not only impact the efficiency of a railroad’s operating network, but also impact interstate and global commerce as transportation of goods are hindered. The need to have a team of experienced engineering and construction professionals responding to natural disasters was demonstrated by this storm event.

Abstract:
Earth structures like embankments involve the use of a huge quantity of soil. Major sources of borrow soil are natural hills and embankments which are to be preserved to prevent structural instability and environmental problems. Bulk quantities of soil are dredged out from various waterfront projects, but poor engineering properties limit their use in construction projects. Stabilization of sediments with suitable reagents to use in embankment construction is considered a sustainable approach. With this motive, many studies are being conducted focusing on finding solutions to propose a sustainable alternative for earthwork infrastructural materials. Latest studies are developing engineering improvement of dredged sediments as a solution for the scarcity of earthen resources for construction.

Abstract:
Various road embankment reinforcements on over a 2 to 4 meter thick peat deposit have been constructed in summer to autumn 2015 in the area of Kose-Võõbu in the northern part of Estonia. The test sections consist of five different reinforced road embankments: one layer of georeinforcement, two layers of georeinforcements, geocell mattress, light weight aggregate (LWA) and expanded polystyrene (EPS) light weight embankment structures with georeinforcement. An additional test section is a mass replacement. To accelerate the consolidation of the peat, reinforced test sections are loaded with surcharge. This paper presents information about peat field and laboratory tests, geodetic monitoring, settlement predictions and preliminary evaluation of the structures. The settlements of each test section are precisely measured with settlement plates installed over the peat layer, over e.g. EPS and LWA layers and surface dressing (bituminous layer). In addition, the surface treatment layer has been mapped by high-resolution laser scanning, also after surcharge removal the scanning will be conducted to obtain settlement profile due the surcharge. The intent of this test construction is to validate technical and economic feasibility of different reinforcement methods over designed road alignment (road E263).

Abstract:
The US Army Corps of Engineers, St. Paul District, and its non-federal sponsors are designing and constructing a flood risk management project that will reduce the risk of flooding in the Fargo-Moorhead metropolitan area. There is a 30-mile long diversion channel around the west side of the city of Fargo, as well as a staging area that will be formed upstream of a 20-mile long dam (referred to as the Southern Embankment) that collectively includes an earthen embankment with three gated structures: the Diversion Inlet Structure, the Wild Rice River Structure, and the Red River Structure (RRS). A physical model has been constructed and analyzed to assess the hydraulic conditions near and at the RRS for verification of the structure’s flow capacity as well as optimization of design features for the structure. This report describes the modeling techniques and instrumentation used in the investigation and details the evaluation of the forces exerted on the proposed bulkheads during emergency operations for the RRS.
