DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION OF STEEL BARS WITH ANCHOR PLATES APPLYING TO STRENGTHEN THE HIGH EMBANKMENT ON SOFT GROUND ---PROCEEDINGS OF THE INTERNATIONAL SYMPOSIUM ON THEORY AND PRACTICE OF EARTH REINFORCEMENT, FUKUOKA, KYUSHU, JAPAN, 5-7 OCTOBER 1988

A high embankment for interchange was to be constructed on soft ground of 10 m in thickness without causing harmful displacement at the ground surface near the toe of the embankment. A new method, (the steel bar reinforcing method), was proposed to reduce deformation at the ground surface near the toe of the embankment and to strengthen the embankment. The precision of predicting displacement was improved by conducting soil surveys, building test embankments and analyzing divergencies of predicted values from values observed in the test embankments. Displacement was thus successfully minimized. For predicting the displacement of the ground surface near the toe and the proportion of tensile forces in each layer of the steel bars, finite element method (fem) was found to be the best method available.(a) for the covering abstract of the symposium see IRRD 818063.
