A review of road embankment stability on soft ground: problems and future perspective. IIUM Engineering Journal, 20 (2). pp. 32-56. ISSN 1511-788X (2019)
Abstract
This paper presents an exhaustive review of the challenges faced in the construction of road embankments on soft ground and proposes a direction for future development. Frequently used techniques for soft ground improvement are discussed. The factors that contribute to the stability of the road embankment are reviewed by approach, results of past studies, and historical cases. The findings show that settlement, slope stability, and soil bearing capacity are all challenges to constructing the road embankment. Additionally, it is found that geometric data is a key factor in embankment design. Pre-loading with prefabricated vertical drain (PVDs) methods and lightweight fill were found to be widely used techniques in soft ground improvement. The information from this study can be used to develop design guidance systems, numerical modelling, and to give an overview and knowledge to other researchers who are or will conduct research in this field. Finally, future perspectives for research are related to predictions of factors that affect the stability of road embankment with an artificial intelligence approach.
