The embankment is required if the sub grade line of highway is elevated over the present ground level.

The embankment materials should contain the strength and durability. On the jobsite, locating soil will be ideal for embankment foundation.

All materials utilized in the construction of highway embankments, fills, subgrades, and subbases are derived from the Earth. Most of these materials are natural in origin, i.e. they are produced because of geologic processes which happen naturally instead of synthetic materials which are produced because of industrial processes (i.e. slag, flyash).
