Engineer Your Ground Webinar:
Staged Construction of Embankments on Soft Clay

​November 21, 2017
12:00 PM ET


​Construction on soft clays typically faces multiple challenges, such as settlement magnitude and rate, and the risk of undrained failure of the foundation soils. This webinar will discuss t​he construction of embankments ranging in height between 50-ft and 125-ft on relatively thick deposits of highly compressible clays. This presentation will also demonstrate how a rigorous geotechnical investigation, analyses, and instrumentation program were key factors in successfully constructing the embankments on challenging foundation soils.
