Abstract: This paper presents a problem of the stability assessment of stage-constructed embankment on soft organic subsoil using Eurocode 7. The stability assessment was performed based on the Antoniny site. The analysis contains measured and corrected shear strength values of the organic soils obtained in the virgin and consolidated organic subsoil by staged construction. Derived, characteristic and design values of undrained shear strength of the organic soils were determined. The stability calculations were performed based on statistical analysis of the field vane test results using mean and characteristic values of undrained shear strength reduced by half and one standard deviation.
