Abstract: This paper describes the observed and the predicted performance of a full‐scale trial embankment built to failure on a soft Malaysian marine clay. Predictions of the subsoil deformation, the critical height of fill and the ...

Abstract: This study describes the performance of a full‐scale embankment raised on a soft marine clay, stabilized with vertical band drains in Malaysia. The finite element code CRISP, which is based on critical‐state soil mechanics, ...

Abstract: The current design practice of single bored piles in residual weathered formations is based mainly on stability consideration against shear failure, and pile deformation analysis is rarely carried out. However, the acceptance ...

Abstract: Settlement and stability are the primary geotechnical considerations in the design of embankments founded on soft clay. Settlements are inevitably associated with lateral deformations. Lateral flow in turn is an indirect ...

Abstract: This paper describes the analytical formulation of a modified consolidation theory incorporating vacuum pressure, and numerical modeling of soft clay stabilized by prefabricated vertical drains, with a linearly distributed ...

Abstract: Time‐settlement data of more than 30 different sections of the 55‐km long Bangna‐Bangpakong Highway in Thailand are analyzed. The deformation parameters, namely: undrained modulus,

Abstract: Smear effects due to the installation of prefabricated vertical drains were studied in the laboratory using special equipment and in the field using a full‐scale test embankment. The prefabricated vertical drains were ...

Abstract: Deformation, strength, and flow parameters were determined by inverse analyses on geotechnical data obtained from two full‐scale test embankments constructed on improved soft Bangkok clay. One site was improved with ...
