Abstract:
Numerous highway embankments experience post-construction settlement problems, such as bridge approach settlement that results in the 'bump at the end of the bridge'. One of the causes may be wetting-induced collapse settlement or simply, collapse settlement. One-dimensional oedometer tests were conducted to study the potential for collapse settlement of 22 Oklahoma soils and shales under conditions typically encountered in compacted fills.
