摘要
The accuracy of finite element results depends on the numerical models and the parameters used as well as the numerical techniques adopted. Three aspects of modelling the behavior of embankment on soft ground are discussed in this technical note: (i) simulating the actual construction process, (ii) modelling the soft ground permeability variation during the loading and consolidation process, and (iii) selecting proper soil-reinforcement interface properties according to the relative displacement pattern of the upper and lower interface elements placed between the soil and reinforcement in the case of a reinforced embankment. The significance of these factors on the performance of the embankment on soft ground is demonstrated by case studies.
