The BIONICS embankment, located in Northumberland (UK), is 6 m high, 90 m long and orientated approximately east-west with a 1:2 slope, representative of typical UK infrastructure. The embankment comprises four panels with the central panels constructed to Highways England specifications (termed ‘well-compacted’) and two outermost sections built with reduced compaction to represent poorly constructed/heterogeneous rail embankments.
