Which would mean that an embankment is in saturated

Reference no: EM13528852

Total stress analysis is usually preferred for construction of embankments and for excavations, we use effective stress analysis, but why? Total stress is Undrained strength of the soil, which would mean that an embankment is in saturated condition, but so is the soil in an excavation! well one might say it's considered a long term analysis,why an embankment is not considered long term then?
