Particular attention is given in the paper to the detennination of relevant values of shear modulus G and the difference in behaviour resulting from using constant permeability and permeability varying with void ratio K'Y words: embankments, soft clay, centrifuge test, numerical analysis, Biot ...
Tire shred embankments should be transitionedata slope of 1 vertical on 4 horizontal or flatter at both ends in the longitudinal direction to mitigate any "bumps" fromdeveloping when traversing from conventional soil embankment areas to sections containing tire shred embankments.
