Understanding the age and construction quality of embankments used for road and rail infrastructure is critical in the effective management and maintenance of our transport networks, worth £billions to the UK economy. This paper presents for the first time results from full-scale, carefully controlled experiments on a unique model embankment conducted over the 4-year period between 2008 and 2011....
The future, long-term, stability of slopes in cuttings and embankments is of increasing concern among geotechnical engineers in the UK. A study of the motorway earthworks in the UK (Perry, 1999) conservatively estimates that three times as many slopes are likely to fail than have failed to date if no preventative measures are taken to account for climate change and progressive failure. Elevated pore-pressures...
