AB  - This paper presents the numerical analysis of an embankment founded on a soft structured clay deposit. The paper investigates the effect of modelling the destructuration of the natural clay foundation. A comparison of the embankment behaviour is presented when its soft clay foundation is modelled with a new constitutive model, which can account for destructuration in natural clays and a pre-existing model applicable to reconstituted clays. The paper demonstrates that taking account of the destructuration of the soft clay foundation results in a lower embankment failure height and a different failure surface.
