RAPID CONSTRUCTION OF HIGH EMBANKMENT ON SOFT SUBSURFACE

The compressible clay layers were strengthened with sand compaction piles of 5 X 10 to the 4th power m in total length, and the main body of the embankment was protected with side fills about 10 m wide against base failure. The instrumentation on the site is shown from the data of which possible harmful displacement of the embankment under construction was prevented, some residual settlements after completion were estimated, and the basic data concerning the track maintenance after opening were obtained.
