Application of a Viscoelastic Model to Creep Settlement of High-Fill Embankments

In order to predict the creep settlement of high-fill embankments, the time-dependent viscoelastic model of Poynting–Thomson (the standard linear solid) has been chosen to represent the creep behavior of soils. In the present study, the hereditary integral was applied to calculate the strain while t...
