Abstract: High fill embankment is currently more frequently encountered in during the construction with the rapid development of urbanizations. The stability and settlement aspects of the high fill embankments are numerically analyzed by using the finite element method. The potential slip surface, maximum deformation when approaching the failure and the factor of safety are determined by the strength reduction method. Stability mitigation measures include stability berm in front of the embankment, dynamic compaction, ground anchor with grid beams and geogrid methods.

Key words: High Fill Embankments, Finite Element Method, Settlement, Stability Mitigation Measures
