RS2 Tutorial: Embankment Consolidation

In this tutorial, RS2 is used to model a coupled analysis of a road embankment subject to loading from typical daily traffic. The embankment is created by assigning appropriate material and hydraulic properties to the pre-built model in stages. Looking at this embankment, one can learn about analyzing excess pore pressure, settlement, and will get to see the many different analysis tools that are included in RS2’s Interpret program.
