This paper presents a case history of a geotextile reinforced highway embankment constructed on a soft estuarine deposit installed with prefabricated vertical drains. The case history documents the geotechnical site characterization, embankment construction, and monitoring program. The loading response of the soft estuarine soil was monitored during construction using hydrostatic profile gauges, settlement plates, pneumatic piezometers, and slope inclinometers. Settlements of up to 1.3 m were measured under the 4 m high embankment. The deformation behaviour was interpreted qualitatively from the monitoring data using the general framework of elastic-plastic soil models. The effectiveness of the monitoring program is also briefly discussed. The paper provides performance details that make this case history useful to researchers studying the loading response of soft soils under a geotextile reinforced embankment.Key words: case history, embankment, soft clay, vertical drainage, reinforcement.
