| Abstract | The settlement of an embankment body is always a significant technological issue in highway and railway construction. The embankment body is usually constructed using unsaturated soil, whose deformation consists of three parts, instantaneous deformation, primary-consolidation deformation and secondary-consolidation deformation. The primary consolidation and the secondary compression deformations are not two separate processes, but they influence each other, that are the deformation of the embankment body is the coupling-effect result of unsaturated-rheology and consolidation. Based on the results of uniaxial compression creep test of crushed Red-layers mudstone soils and the principle of the single stress state variable in unsaturated soils, the theory of unsaturated embankment settlement of Red-layers is put forward. Physical centrifugal tests and numerical simulation of centrifugal loading process are adapted not only to study the relationships of the settlement of the embankment body filled with different compaction coefficients versus embankment filling height, as well as the settlement after construction versus time, but also to predict the settlement after construction. Based on these studies, a project case, the settlement characteristics of a section of the railway line for passenger traffic from Chongqing to Suining have been studied by numerical simulation considering actual filling process. These show that the physical centrifugal tests and site monitoring data largely coincide with the corresponding numerical simulation results, showing the high validation of the proposed coupling-theory. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
