Abstract

A large number of high embankments have been constructed in highway engineering with the fast development of highway. The measurement and treatment of traffic loading-induced settlement is a research focus in recent years. This paper focuses on the measurement of the layered settlement, induced by the traffic loading, in the embankment of highway. A novel method to measure the traffic loading-induced settlement at different depths in the embankment is proposed. The practical measurement equipment, including a multipoint extensometer, rigid base, settlement detecting plate, protector tube and connecting rod, is developed. The field tests were carried out in the filling and surcharge period to verify the stability and accuracy of measurement equipment. The test results indicate that the developed equipment and the presented installation method can be capable of measuring traffic-induced settlement at different depths in the embankment of the operating highway.
