概要
- 論文の詳細を見る
Presented is a method for analyzing the end-of-construction stability of a granular embankment over a clayey foundation with a variable undrained strength. The mechanism utilized allows the embankment to "break" steeply squeezing out the clay underneath. By virtue of the mechanism used, the factor of safety can be determined through a simple minimization process and without resorting to statical assumptions. The formulation is presented in a framework of limit-equilibrium ; however, its results can also be shown in the context of limit-analysis. To demonstrate the method's performance, some results are presented. The factor of safety predictions compare well with those obtained from Spencer's method. Also, stability analysis predictions compare reasonably well with a field case history.
