Prediction of the Stress State of Pond Ash Road Embankments

  • SOIL MECHANICS
  • Published:
Soil Mechanics and Foundation Engineering Aims and scope

Several full-scale in-tray stamp tests of the pond ash road embankment model were carried out under static and dynamic loading conditions. Based on the results, equations were proposed and verified for predicting the major principal stresses at different depths in the ash roadbed, depending on the degree of compaction, humidity, own weight of the technogenic soil, and type of the external load application.
