Abstract

Finite element analyses of a pavement constructed on a cement stabilized soilwall system are presented. Numerical modeling of the interaction between the solid phase and the flow characteristics of the liquid phase has been formulated on the basis of Biot's consolidation theory. The influence of interaction between the soil-wall and the wet soil is investigated for various combinations of material characteristics. The contribution of the soil-wall to the load carrying capacity is interpreted. The findings will provide the necessary information for improvement of existing designs and the development of design specifications.
