Numerical simulation of consolidation settlement of the embankment of the Nansi Lake

Abstract

The consolidation settlement of the lake embankment engineering under long-term load is very large. It makes the structure can’t work normally and even leads to severe damage. Therefore, it is very important to analyze the settlement of soft soil foundation for the stability and safety of the lake embankment. The mechanical parameters of soil in this area, based on the geological investigation report of the lake embankment, are used to analyze the engineering characteristics of lacustrine soil. The embankment of the Nansi Lake is selected as an object to analyze the consolidation deformation characteristics of the lake embankment. The consolidation settlement of the lake embankment is simulated by the finite element analysis software. The simulation data and analysis results are very important for studying local geological characteristics and hydraulic construction.
