In the embankment widening project, new will produce large deformation due to low degree of consolidation, which affect stability embankment. Obtaining settlement law is premise ensure this paper, studied through model test, and calculation method proposed. The test results show that old embankments have a difference during loading process, maximum twice lateral directly proportional vertical d...

Abstract Although the construction of concrete piles has a relevant environmental footprint, they are commonly used to reduce settlements embankments on soft soil strata. A more sustainable choice further (and, consequently, number piles) is place geosynthetics below embankment. However, existing design methods cannot calculate at embankment top and be optimise in displacement-based design. In ...

Volcanic soil is often used as fill material in road embankment construction Java island-Indonesia. An understanding of the engineering properties compacted volcanic soils needed, especially during preliminary design phase and detailed embankment. Carrying out a field compaction trial test will significantly assist process construction. Selecting correct number passes from compactor can be obta...

Stepped spillways are designed to increase the rate of energy dissipation on the chute and to reduce the size of the downstream energy dissipator. It is essential to predict accurately the turbulent dissipation above the steps for large discharges per unit width corresponding to the skimming flow regime. New measurements were conducted in a large facility with a channel slope of 21.8o and a ste...
