• h≤ is an engineering requirement setting a limit on the height of the embankment at the maximum height specified (if no DG
value is specified , embankments more than around 15m high must have their stability checked by a soil mechanics type of CaCO3 59.7
approach. Deformability of the embankment foundation soil has to be checked in addition .
• sprinkling is an engineering requirement for the material to be wetted to maintain its natural moisture content within the
envelope applicable to the initial state classification .
• moisture correction means action to maintain, reduce or increase the natural moisture content of a soil having a good
moisture content despite weather conditions; if the soil is too wet, this means benefiting from evaporative weather cond
itions and for a dry soil ,exposing the soil to rainfall in wet weather, using appropriate field techniques such as wind
rowing , excavation in thin layers, blending, slow placement rates , etc.
• protection is the opposite action, to keep soil moisture near its initial value by placement in the structure quickly after
excavation , protecting excavation bench faces against evaporation or rainfall as appropriate (vertical or steep working
faces), early compaction to seal the surface, drainage and sealing, etc.
• treatment, usually with lime but sometimes with other binders, renders some over-wet soils suitable for use as a
constructional material. A special study must always be made to determine the benefits and feasibility of treatment,
application rates , and associated difficulties if any".
