Shell embankment is a naturally formed special type of coastal bank. The embankment consisting a mixture of shell and sand possesses the properties of high permeability

large sensitivity

poor anti-weathering capacity and lower stability. To construct the profile

the following aspects have been considered: (1) Safe excavation; (2) satisfying the requirement of anti- earthquake and (3) better exhibition effect. Based on the results of theoretical analysis and experiment

the chemical grouting technique is adopted. The excavation of the profile of the shell embankment has been safely carried out. The stability of the constructed profile of the shell embankment is then tested by the standard dynamic penetration tests. The finite element analysis is also performed to prove the short term and long term stability. Aseismic analysis is also performed to assess the aseismic capability of the exhibiting profile of the shell embankment.
