Geotechnical Parameters of Soil, Considering the Effect of Additional Compaction of Embankment

The paper presents selected test results obtained during construction of multi-layer soil embankments. It also provides the analysis of a new geotechnical approach, used for construction of non-typical soil embankments, which takes into account the effect of additional compaction of individual layers. The tests were conducted in in-situ conditions. As a result of compaction of consecutive 30 filling layers with 0.30m in thickness, it was possible to develop a statistical model allowing to assess the impact of overlying (higher) layers on successive compaction of a layer of soil incorporated earlier. The obtained results allow for the assessment of the influence of compaction of the higher layers on the increased soil compaction of the lower layers.
