Embankment Deformations Due to Water Loads.

摘要

A number of solutions are presented for the deformation and stresses within an embankment subjected to water loading. For a homogeneous embankment,the influence of water level,embankment slope and Poisson's ratio is investigated. The influence of a central core is also examined,and is found to be relatively small for the cases considered. It is further shown that the solutions for a homogeneous embankment may be used to estimate the movements within an embankment in which the modulus varies.
