Abstract

Implementing and promoting the governance and protection of the Yangtze River has been a major task for the Yangtze River water conservancy efforts. As an important barrier safeguarding the economic belt along the river, monitoring the mechanical properties and deformation of the embankment project is a key aspect of the operation and management of the Yangtze River. This paper presents a consolidation and drainage shear test on the fill of Jingjiang Yangtze River embankment, along with an analysis of settlement and deformation using data from six measurement points at the top of the embankment. The results indicate that the bias stress and volume deformation of embankment fill increase with axial strain, and the peak stress and volume deformation increase with perimeter pressure. And there are significant spatial differences in the settlement of the river embankment, and the settlement at CJ1 and CJ6 measurement points is minimal, within 3 mm, whereas the settlement at CJ4 and CJ5 measurement points reaches 27.28 mm and 13.64 mm, respectively, suggesting a need for enhanced continuous observation.
