The stability of an embankment during and post-construction is predominantly influenced by the magnitude of displacements occurring beneath the embankment. Numerous studies have documented the adverse effects of excessive displacements on the performance of the embankment and nearby structures. Various ground improvement techniques are employed, along with the deployment of in-situ instrumentation, to mitigate significant issues such as large displacements and potential embankment failure. This study leverages data from multiple case studies on embankments and utilizes finite element software, PLAXIS 2D, to analysed displacements. The lateral displacements and settlements were computed using PLAXIS 2D. The results, including lateral displacements, settlements, and pore water pressures derived from finite element analysis (FEA), were then systematically compared with parameters obtained through experimental, numerical, and observational methods documented in existing case histories.
