Abstract

With one section of a subgrade engineering project in Fujian,the mountain-side soft foundation of high fill embankment as example,by finite element software GeoStudio,which combined with the limit equilibrium and finite element modeling,a dynamic analysis was performed on the mountain-side soft foundation of high fill embankment.The results showed that the method was effective in the stability evaluation of the mountain-side soft foundation of high fill embankment slope,especially when the safety coefficient closes to 1.0,the finite element simulation of the strain deformation can be combined to determine more accurately embankment slope stability,which can provide a reference for the similar slope stability evaluation in future.
