Dear Graham
We have found the following papers useful when determining embankment
stability in similar estaurine deposits in south Dunedin, New Zealand :
Fell, R., Wong, P.K. and Stone, P. (1987). Slope instability in soft
ground, in Soil Slope Instability and Stabilisation. Eds B.F. Walker and R.
Fell, Belkema, pp231-280.
Ferkh, Z. and Fell, R. (1994). Design of embankments on soft clay. XIII
ICSMFE, New Delhi, pp.5-10, January 1994.
Ladd, C.C. and Fell, R. (1987). Stability evaluation during staged
construction. J. Geotech. Eng. ASCE, Vol. 117, No. 4, pp.538-615
We have copies available if you need them.
