Analysis and Design Relating to Embankments, a State-of-the-Art Review.

Abstract

Factors influencing analysis and design of embankments are discussed, with emphasis on method of analysis, selection of appropriate shear strengths, and cases where analyses may not be reliable. The Simplified Bishop procedure is considered appropriate for most purposes, but the method of analysis is not considered especially important, except that the ordinary method of slices may be too conservative for many cases. Effects of isotrophic versus anisotropic consolidation on laboratory determined shear strengths are compared.
