Numerical Simulation Study on Self-Settlement Process of High Embankment

This paper uses the FLAC software to simulate self-settlement of high embankment. Analysis and discussion on the simulation results are performed. The final results indicate that the self-settlement of high embankment can't be ignored, the maximum settlement within the embankment occurs at about （1/3～1/2）embankment height. This conclusion has a reference value for guiding the actual construction.
