RESEARCH ON REASONABLE EMBANKMENT CONSTRUCTION (FIRST PROGRESS REPORT)

Various problems involved in railway fill construction were attacked in many respects. Several methods of soft subsoil stabilization were compared with each other with particular reference to prevention of base failure, acceleration of settlement, and reduction of excessive vibration. Also, subsidence and slope failure of newly built embankments were investigated.
