Abstract

Pre-compression effects on shear strength and deformation characteristics of compacted cohesive soils and associated stability evaluation of embankment slopes are discussed in this paper. Finite element stress and deformation analysis is conducted for several model fills to study their stress states after placement and to evaluate slope stability by taking into account characteristics of pre-compression stress pc and those of strength parameters (c, ϕ) in the stress ranges below and over pc.
