Abstract
Procedures for predicting and controlling the rate of construction of embankments on soft weak foundation soils are presented. Shear strength, the key factor in such problems, is related to consolidation and effective stresses in the foundation soil. An illustrative example of a hypothetical embankment stability problem follows, and the assumptions used in such an analysis are discussed.
