SETTLEMENT CALCULATIONS OF A HIGHWAY EMBANKMENT ON SOFT GROUND

The settlement of a highway embankment on soft soil is calculated using a standard method of the deformation modulus and compared with a more sophisticated approach using hypoplastic and viscoplastic models. Advantages of realistic soil models are discussed and a comparison with the measured in situ settlement is given.
