Abstract

In the design of roads, embankments stand out as the most sensitive elements of design in terms of cost-effectiveness, safety and comfort, and are influenced by numerous factors: subsoil fill, embankment material, groundwater level, proximity of earthquake faults, etc. Cost-effectiveness on the one hand, and safety and comfort on the other, are always in conflict. A solution should therefore be sought to somehow satisfy all the demands placed during the design stage. The subject of this paper is to find the best (optimal) solution in the design of embankments. Criteria for the design of road embankments have been analysed and optimized. The results of embankment design optimization are shown taking into account criteria for determining the optimal solution (economic criteria, safety criteria, traffic criteria, geological and hydro-geological criteria). Research results are presented analytically and graphically.
