摘要：

Land development is underway at Shizuoka Airport. The development involves the construction of a high embankment of a total fill quantity of 26 million m(3) with a maximum height of 75 m. Not all of the locally available embankment materials are of high quality. High-water-content materials also need to be employed. Then, it has been planned to stabilize the embankment by encouraging the consolidation of embankment materials and increasing drainage capacity using horizontal drains. Numerous uncertain factors are, however, related to the effectiveness of horizontal drains. A test embankment was therefore constructed and the behavior of the embankment and the effectiveness of drains were investigated through field observation. An FEM analysis was also made of the test embankment. The effectiveness of drains were analyzed and the results were compared with the field observations.
