Abstract EN
Mineralogical and mechanical characterization of Venice lagoon soils is required for design and construction of movable floodgates that aim to safeguard the city of Venice against recurrent floods.
An instrumented circular test embankment was constructed in the lagoon area, enabling accurate measurement of relevant ground displacements.
In situ stress-strain-time measurements were carried out in order to investigate the viscous behaviour of Venice lagoon soils during and after embankment loading.
Site monitoring was kept up also during embankment removal so that information on soil behaviour in unloading is available, too.
This paper illustrates key results from embankment monitoring and also focuses on modelling of creep behaviour.
A recently developed anisotropic constitutive model was calibrated for Venice lagoon soils and is used in back analysis of the embankment construction and removal process.
The constitutive parameters of the model were calibrated from in situ and laboratory tests.
