The Saemangeum seawall, located on the western coast of Korea, is 33.8 km long and is known as the longest embankment in the world. The Saemangeum project is underway for road, railway, and port constructions for internal development. In the Saemangeum area, suitable granular soil for embankment material is difficult to obtain. However, silty clay is widely distributed. In this study, a series of model-bearing capacity tests were conducted as a basic study for using clayey soils as embankment materials. The model bearing capacity tests were carried out using a standard metal mold and a customized metal box. The test results showed that clayey soil, with normal moisture content (NMC), exhibited a large deformation and low bearing capacity. However, when the clay was well-compacted, with optimum moisture content (OMC), it exhibited a higher bearing capacity than dense sand. In addition, when crushed gravel and composite geotextiles were placed in the clayey soil with NMC, the bearing capacity was higher than that of dense sand. From the viewpoint of the bearing capacity, it is considered that clayey soil can be used as an embankment material when clay, crushed gravel, and composite geotextiles are properly combined.
