Soft soils are widespread in many areas of the East-West highway Algeria, covering large areas. Construction projects such as embankments, airfields, roads, and railways experience several problems due to their low strength permeability. This study used a fully dynamic analysis evaluate response embankment. The numerical was carried out using FLAC 2D version 8.10 software. main objective effect...

In this paper, a study was carried out in order to estimate settlements and consolidation rates under embankments constructed on Moroccan soft soils.  Settlement measurements in several embankments in High Speed Railway project between two Moroccan cities, Tangier and Assilah,  were analyzed. The objective of this study is to estimate settlement values and settlement rates, with sufficient prec...

Abstract There is a need of reducing the uncertainty in traffic loading-induced settlements within railway embankments. A previously developed model for unbound stone-based materials has been implemented modelling rockfill Particles were represented by simple breakable tetrahedral clumps spheres with four asperities each. Both corner breakage and particle splitting allowed. Embankments heights ...

This research study used sewage sludge from urban wastewater treatment plants to restore road embankments. The results have been used to propose a series of basic principles for the application of sludge in this context. In the study, six experimental plots (each composed on one cut slope and one fill slope) were set up on a highway located in the province of Jaen (Spain). The soil and vegetati...
