Study on Model for Settlement Prediction of High-Filled Embankment in Mountainous Area

Abstract:

Mountain high-filled embankment settlement prediction methods need to do some research. With the analysis of the experimental observation’s results, obtained some factors that influence the settlement. Then through the comparison of these three kinds of calculation models with the measured data, obtained the results which are suitable for the construction of the medium range estimate are as follows: Hyperbolic curve method and Exponential curve method. As gray prediction theory method is suitable for the long-term prediction after construction. The comparisons the accuracy of these different methods can provide reference for the prediction of embankment for similar constructions.
