embankment fill on slope
embankment fill on slope
(OP)
hi all,
Can someone shed some light on embankment filling on sloped ground?
What's the steepest allowable natural slope a 2:1(h:v) embankment can be constructed on top assuming no slope stability & bearing problem to the natural slope. In another words, the gradient which machinery can perform compaction to requirement on site. I mean heavy machinery such as roller compacter or sheep foot
thanx

Ifully agree with (alwyn511) and there are different softwares for checking slope stability but first you should have the cohesion and internal angle (theta) so a lab. test for the borrowed soil is necessary, also mannual simplified Bishop method will be good for this case if it was not a huge one.
