Finite Element Analysis on Deformation Behavior of Expanded Embankment

Guangli Xu

Abstract

Nonlinear finite element analysis is carried out on expanded embankment under different working conditions with PLAXIS finite element software.It is known from analysis that the deadweight of expanded embankment will cause larger additional settlement and horizontal displacement on the original embankment.Subgrade modulus and soil mass have larger influence on embankment deformation.
