    The document provides input data for designing a two-layer soil embankment including soil properties, dimensions, and applied loads. The assignment requires: (1) pre-dimensioning the embankment slopes, (2) checking embankment stability using circular slip surfaces and slice method, (3) drawing a cross-section of the embankment, and (4) providing a sketch of the embankment sliced into sections for calculations.

    1 – THE DESIGN OF AN EMBANKMENT

    Input data:

    Design a soil embankment, having the following input data:

    Layer 1 Layer 2
    γS1 = (27.2 +0.1* Gr) [kN/m3] γS2 = (26.7 +0.1* Gr) [kN/m3]
    n1 = (34 +0.5 * Gr) [%] n2 = (36 +0.1 * Gr) [%]
    w1 = (10 + Gr) [%] w2 = (15 + 0.1*Gr) [%]
    ϕ1 = (25 - 0.5* Gr) [°] ϕ2 = (22 - 0.5* Gr) [°]
    c1= (0.2 + 0.05* Gr) [daN/cm2] c2= (0.25 + 0.05* Gr) [daN/cm2]
    H1 = (4.3+ 0.1 * Gr) [m] H2 = (3.2+ 0.1 * Gr) [m]
    q = (15+10* Gr) [kN/m2]
    b = 1.6 [m]
    d = 2.5 [m]
    Gr – group number

    H1
    b Layer 1 b

    H
    H2
    Layer 2

    The assignment will contain:


    A. Written parts:
    a. The pre- dimensioning of the embankment slopes
    b. The embankment stability check in the circular-cylindrical failure surface hypothesis, using the
    slices method

    B. Drawn parts:
    a. Vertical cross-section through the embankment (section 1:100 or 1:200)
    b. Sketch containing the calculation draft – slicing of the embankment (section 1:100)
