Using the EMBANK software the team was able to analyze the settlement of the soil profile under the approach embankments.  The soil strata used for this software was selected from the soil profile created using the boring logs, more specifically Boring B-16.  The software tested five separate scenarios in order to find the maximum settlement, which included creating sub layers for the strata of organic clay.  The maximum settlement was calculated to be 32.59 inches, or 2.72 feet, when the organic clay layer was split into four sub layers.  These calculations reinforce that soil remediation is a crucial element of this design.
