Abstract
Geosynthetic Horizontal Drains (GHDs) are possible to be used in the case of steep soft clay embankments. To obtain the behavior of GHD-reinforced embankments, the numerical analysis of GHD-reinforced embankments which are referred to the full scale test embankment in site was conducted. As the result, the FEM used in this study can simulate the deformation and stress with the comparison between calculated value and measured data. Further evaluation about material properties of GHD, effects of facing, and arrangement of GHD in the embankment were carried out.
