... piled embankments Geosynthetic applications Soft clay The increasing population has necessitated the utilisation of areas even with soft foundation soils for various infrastructure development purposes. Construction of tall embankments on soft soil may result in various problems...

...M. Mirzababaei; A. Arulrajah; A. Haque; S. Nimbalkar; A. Mohajerani In this study, a series of multi-stage drained reverse direct shear tests were carried out on soft clay samples reinforced with 0.25% and 0.50% polypropylene fibers of 6 mm, 10 mm and 19 mm in length. Tests were carried out...

...S. R. Mohapatra; K. Rajagopal A systematic series of slope stability analyses were performed on embankments supported on soft clay soils treated with ordinary granular columns (OGCs) and geosynthetic encased granular columns (EGCs). The effect of various parameters such as the undrained shear...

... an axi-symmetric unit cell, and then the results were compared with field measurements. It was observed that the soil arching progressed during post-construction due to a decrease in apparent stiffness of soft clay from quasi undrained to drained stiffness. Furthermore, there was a difference...

... the model stone columns. Hence a rough, thermally bonded, nonwoven geotextile (with tensile modulus = 120 kN/m) was used as the horizontal strip. During the model tests, the soft clay bed was prepared with a shear strength (c_{u) of 6–7 kN/m² by a detailed moulding procedure}...

...H. O. Magnani; M. S. S. Almeida; M. Ehrlich The paper presents the behaviour of two reinforced test embankments built on a normally consolidated soft clay deposit underlying a top sand layer. The embankments were constructed close to undrained conditions in about 60 days. The embankments were well...
