Centrifugal Model Tests for Settlement of High Embankment

Publish Date: 25 Jun 2003

Abstract

Abstract

By taking an airport in the southwest of China as an example, a group of centrifugal model tests are carried out to investigate the deformation characteristics of high embankment. The research results show that great settlement and fast compression are the main characteristics of high embankment for the soil used in the tests, above 90% of settlement occurs during the construction, and below 10% after the construction.
