Open publisher page 3 citations

Abstract

In this paper, finite element method is used for the analysis of sequential construction of embankment. The idealized study gives information on the behavior of a multi-stage construction of an embankment over a soft cohesive deposit. If the response is determined after the construction of entire structure, it is likely to be different from the results which are obtained by considering sequential construction procedure. The displacement and stresses have been calculated during each stage of sequential construction of embankment. The developed computer program shows bearing capacity failure at final lift where the algorithm fails to converge leading to failure.
