Compression settlement in embankment constructed with large grain fill materials

초록

This study was carried out to identify the effect of repeated wetting on a compression settlement of a rock/soil mixture to be used as an embankment fill material.Measurement was made on materials with different densities and particle size distribution. Relatively large settlement occurred under a fully-submerged condition. Continued settlement was measured when the moisture content was increased over and over again in the manner of rainfall infiltration.
