The response of a saturated soil foundation to an embankment load is studied with FLAC. The soil behavior is represented by a Cam-clay material model. The pore pressure build up and dissipation in the foundation soil and the settlement beneath the embankment are calculated during undrained and drained loading. This is a fully coupled mechanical-fluid flow calculation.

Keywords:

  • Saturated soil
  • fluid flow coupling
  • Drained and undrained responses
  • Embarkment settlement
  • Cam-Clay model

Materials:

  • Soil
  • Water

Analyses:

  • Fluid Flow
  • Static
