1. The bridge experienced movements of its eastern abutment and approach embankment settlement that were not anticipated during design.
2. Investigation found the ground was non-homogenous and anisotropic, unlike the homogenous, isotropic, and elastic material assumed in design. This led to underestimation of soft soil layers and overestimation of consolidation rates.
3. Potential causes identified include difficultly characterizing alluvial soils, embankment settlement from soft soil consolidation, and abutment movement from lateral forces in non-homogenous foundation soils. Solutions proposed using pile foundations and pre-loading with vertical drains.
