A highway embankment built in Akita prefecture using ground stabilization methods was constructed on very soft peat and clay deposits on a sloping base. This paper presents a case study of a soil/water coupled elasto-viscoplastic finite element simulation of an actual embankment construction, that is, the deformation analysis of a soft clayey foundation deposited on an inclined base with embankment loading. For execution of the numerical simulation, determining the input parameters needed in the analysis and evaluating the shape of sloping bedrock under the ground were problems. The former is discussed for a practical procedure of determining input parameters using unconfined compression strengths and the latter is accomplished by drawing a contour map of the top face of the bedrock under the ground, with reference to the geographical features of the area around the site and to a topographic map. The performance of the numerical simulation is discussed in comparison with in-situ monitored records. The effectiveness of ground stabilization methods employed at the site is also a topic of discussion.
