The prediction of embankment settlement is a critically important issue for the serviceability of subgrade projects, especially the post-construction settlement.
Several methods have been proposed to predict embankment settlement; however, all of these methods are based on a parameter, i.e. the initial time point.
The difference in the initial time point determined by different designers can induce errors in the prediction of embankment settlement.
This paper proposed a concept named “potential settlement” and a simplified method based on the in situ data.
The proposed method’s key parameter “b” was verified using the theoretical method and field data.
Finally, an example was used to demonstrate the advantages of the proposed method by comparing it with other methods and the observation data.
Embankment settlement
Calculate trapezoidal settlements in significant points for roads or railways: centerline, edge, and base. The distribution of stresses is determined using the theory of elasticity, considering the superposition of rectangular and triangular loads. The settlement is calculated for each layer by subdividing the layer into sub-layers to increase precision in settlement calculations.
