Rocscience & Geoquest : Choosing the Right System for Embankments Over Soft Soil, Peat and Swamp

Join Rocscience and Geoquest for a collaborative webinar exploring how engineers can select the most appropriate embankment solutions for soft clay, peat, and swamp deposits. Geoquest will discuss where different reinforcement systems are most effective, how their products are implemented within the Rocscience manufacturer libraries, and present a real-world case study illustrating the decision-making process.

The workflow will be demonstrated using Slide2 for limit equilibrium slope stability analysis and RS2 for numerical modeling to assess stability, deformation, settlement, and consolidation. Rather than promoting a single solution, this webinar provides a practical framework for selecting the right approach based on site conditions, project constraints, and engineering objectives.

What you'll learn

• How to choose the right embankment solution for different soft ground conditions.
• The advantages and trade-offs of staged construction, berms, basal reinforcement, and reinforced steep slopes.
• How soft clay, peat, and swamp deposits require different design approaches.
• How Geoquest reinforcement products are used in practice and accessed through the Rocscience manufacturer libraries.
• How to evaluate embankment designs using Slide2 and RS2.
• Key lessons from a real-world case study and how to apply them to your own projects.
