SETTLEMENT ANALYSIS OF BED MUDSTONE EMBANKMENTS WITH DIFFERENT DEGREES OF COMPACTION THROUGH CENTRIFUGAL MODEL TESTS AND FINITE ELEMENT MODELING

Compaction degree is the key index to control construction of embankment.In this paper the settlement of embankment is simulated by centrifugal test and FEM analysis under different compact degrees,and the relationships between cohesion,friction angle and compact degree and characteristics of embankment settlement under different compact degrees are obtained,which provides important basis for construction of embankment.
