Abstract
An approximate stability analysis taking strength anisotropy into account is proposed, from which various correction curves are established. Examination of these curves shows that there is one particular constant correction factor applicable to most practical situations of embankment construction. This can be written as Sa = 0.95Cm where Sa is the available subsoil strength and Cm the mean strength from the vertical and horizontal specimens. This expression is shown to be in agreement with existing field experience.
