Stability analysis of embankment on soft ground is continually a heating topic in soil mechanics and geotechnical community.Stability analysis approaches of embankment on soft ground are formulated and analysed according to the influence of different height of load in this paper.
In this paper,some kinds of limiting equilibrium technique are firstly introduced and the stability behavior of embankment on soft ground is analysed.Furthermore,the suitable stability methods of analyzing embankment on soft ground is proposed while the determining methods of undrained shear strength of soft clays are reviewed.Combined with one case study,the stability analysis approaches proposed in this paper are validated.
