Resumen:

This paper presents a new analytical solution SATFI (Analytical solution for embankment with a rigid lower boundary, by acronym in Spanish), to calculate vertical displacements induced by an embankment. The results obtained include the effect of a rigid lower boundary where displacements are restricted. SATFI is based on the analytical solution by Manica (2012), which is an extension of Carothers (1920) solution. In order to perform the calculations automatically, an algorithm named TEFRI was developed in MATLAB (embankment with a rigid lower boundary, by acronym in Spanish). With the help of this logarithm, it is possible generate contour maps and graphs of displacements on vertical and horizontal axes. In this research work TEFRI is used for solving the case of an embankment built on a deposit with characteristics typical of the subsoil of the Valley of Mexico City. The analyses are carried out considering different depths of the firm stratum, where the displacements are considered as negligible, and drained and undrained conditions of the soil. The results obtained are compared with the results of the numerical modeling corresponding to the mentioned cases. A good agreement between the results obtained between the analytical and numerical models.
