Summary

This archive contains the data used to produce a number of the figures in the linked Morsy et al. (2023) publication.

The linked repository consists of:

Deformation data used in the embankment model validation
Data on the embankment foundation along with the fill density and porosity
Undrained triaxial test data used for validation of the strain-softening model
In-situ and modelled soil water retention behaviour of the embankment fill
Meteorological data related to evapotranspiration
Modelled and field monitored time series of slope pore water pressures and water content
Modelled and monitored embankment settlement data
Modelled slope surface deformations.

Further Information:

The research work was funded by the ACHILLES project (EPSRC programme grant EP/R034575/1). The data from the BIONICS embankment used in the model validation was also produced as part of the EPSRC funded BIONICS (GR/S87430/01) and iSMART (EP/K027050/1) projects.

For more information, please visit the ACHILLES project website.
Field data used in this work is available from the linked dataset in the reference section.
