Foundation Treatment Assessment and Postconstruction Settlement Prediction of a Loess High Fill Embankment: A Case Study

Table 6

Compaction methods and compaction degree standards of test fill.

Location	Below airstrip (m)	Compaction method	Thickness of loose laying	Compaction degree
Airstrip region	Y = 0-1	VC + PC	VC-4 × 0.35 m, PC-1.0 m	0.98
	Y = 1–20	VC + PC	VC-5 × 0.40 m, PC-1.5 m	0.96
	Y = 20-H-20	VC + DC	VC-20 × 0.40 m, DC-6.0 m
Fill slope region	Y = 0–20	VC (H represents the height of fill body in Figure 8)	0.4 m	0.90
	Y = 20-H-20		0.4 m	0.93
Ordinary region	Y = 0-1		3 × 0.45 m	0.90
