Performance of Geosynthetic-Reinforced and Cement-Fly Ash-Gravel Pile-Supported Embankments over Completely Decomposed Granite Soil: A Case Study

Table 1

Proportion of the total settlement for test embankments.

Section	Improvement method	Filling stage	Duration (day)	Proportion of the total settlement (%)
				Filling stage	Placement stage	Total
G1	Reinforced (CFG)	I	201	44.6	23.5	68.1
		II	658	6.0	24.7	30.7
		III	219	—	1.2	1.2
G2	Unreinforced	I	237	29.4	11.9	41.3
		II	628	37.6	17.4	55.0
		III	213	—	3.7	3.7

Note. The postconstruction settlements occur at stage III.
