The performance required varies according to the type of work: for example, for an earthen dam or a river embankment it is essential to ensure hydraulic impermeability, while for road or railway embankments it is necessary to guarantee safe passability.<br \/>\nIn general, in the construction of road embankments, preference is given to the use of materials that naturally possess suitable characteristics. On the other hand, materials that do not originally conform but could be made suitable through treatments with additives are not considered. Currently, regulations regarding the design and construction of embankments prescribe the use of materials that meet specific natural requirements, without considering mechanical modifications that can be obtained through processing or treatment. This poses a challenge, as it is often complex to find selected, high-quality soils for embankments construction.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Soil transport refers to the transport of materials from the quarry to the construction site where they will be used. To reduce the costs associated with these operations, regulations are gradually evolving to allow the use of non-conforming materials, which were previously considered waste. These materials, after being treated with additives and subjected to compaction, can improve their mechanical properties and become suitable for use in road embankments.<\/p>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Geometric characteristics<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">The figure shows a schematic cross-section of a standard embankment<\/p>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_single_image image=&#8221;12828&#8243; img_size=&#8221;full&#8221; alignment=&#8221;center&#8221; onclick=&#8221;link_image&#8221;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">A road embankment consists of the following structural elements:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify\">Foundation layer;<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify\">Embankment body (central core);<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify\">Road subgrade;<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify\">Road superstructure or pavement.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify\"><strong>Stability and collapse<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>The stability of embankments, as with other earthworks, is closely linked to the interaction with the foundation soil. The loads transmitted from the embankment to the ground can reach several tens of tonnes per square metre, affecting even very deep layers of soil. If the laying surface is inclined, the risk of slipping can increase. On soils with good mechanical properties (e.g. rocks or cemented granular soils), the stability of the embankment depends mainly on its structure. However, if built on weak soils, the risk of instability must be assessed and possible subsidence, both immediate and over time, due to soil compression must be considered.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Embankment instability can occur when the foundation soil has a low strength. The so-called \u2018bearing capacity\u2019 is the point beyond which the soil can no longer support the weight of the embankment, causing a general failure, characterised by a sliding surface in the soil that gives way under the weight of the embankment. Stability is assessed using geotechnical methods and requires a safety coefficient set by the designer.<\/p>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_single_image image=&#8221;12836&#8243; img_size=&#8221;full&#8221; alignment=&#8221;center&#8221; onclick=&#8221;link_image&#8221;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Unconsolidated saturated clay soils are particularly vulnerable to sliding phenomenon, especially in the early stages of embankment construction, due to internal pressures that take a long time to dissipate. In these cases, common remedies include reducing the height of the embankment, softening the slopes or constructing lateral counterweights.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Another problem is subsidence, which can occur after the construction of the embankment due to material compaction, traffic vibrations and subsidence of the foundation soil. Factors such as inadequate compacting or the use of unsuitable materials can cause excessive deformations, compromising the road pavement.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">The phenomenon of foundation soil consolidation can cause subsidence to occur over varying periods, from a few months to many years, depending on the characteristics of the soil and the height of the embankment. When subsidence is not uniform, it can damage the road superstructure. In such cases, it is necessary:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Carefully analyse soil characteristics and predict subsidence;<\/li>\n<li>Decide whether to accelerate subsidence to stabilise the embankment or try to reduce it.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<h3>Computation of embankments<\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Starting with version 2025 of <strong>GeoStru<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.geostru.eu\/en\/shop\/software-en\/geotechnical-software\/bearing-capacity-settlments-loadcap\/\"><strong>Bearing capacity and settlements \u2013 Loadcap<\/strong><\/a><strong>,\u00a0<\/strong>t allows all useful verifications for the stability of embankments to be carried out. <strong>They include:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul style=\"text-align: justify\">\n<li><strong>Safety verifications in respect of SLU:<\/strong>\n<ul>\n<li>\u00a0Calculation of vertical design resistance<\/li>\n<li>\u00a0Crushing verification<\/li>\n<li>\u00a0Slip verification<\/li>\n<li>-Global stability verification<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li><strong>SLD, SLE verifications:<\/strong>\n<ul>\n<li>\u00a0Calculation of elastic and edometric yielding (also from edometric curve) in x,y,z<\/li>\n<li>Course of settlements over time<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li><strong>Consolidation interventions:<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul style=\"text-align: justify\">\n<li>Gravel piles: Recalculation of limit load and subsidence<\/li>\n<li>Lowering the water table with the application of gravel piles (drainage system)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><strong>All verifications are carried out according to Eurocode 7 and 8.<\/strong><\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">The application of road embankments in GeoStru Loadcap makes the approach to the embankment-soil interaction problem totally different from the foundation-soil interaction: the geotechnical relationships used for the embankments are created specifically for the type of problem.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify\"><strong>Embankment configuration<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">From the \u2018<strong>General Data\u2019<\/strong> menu, as mentioned, you can reach the new instrument:<\/p>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_single_image image=&#8221;12973&#8243; img_size=&#8221;full&#8221; alignment=&#8221;center&#8221; onclick=&#8221;link_image&#8221;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">After entering the stratigraphy of the terrain, from here it is possible to size the embankment and, very importantly, possibly insert drains in the form of gravel piles to reduce the hydraulic load and thus consolidate the soil forming our embankment more quickly.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">In fact, the most common solutions for dealing with subsidence include:<\/p>\n<ul style=\"text-align: justify\">\n<li><strong>Increasing the overburden: <\/strong>build the embankment with a greater height than necessary and then reduce it once the subsidence has stabilised.
