This study aims to numerical analysis of the behavior of instrumented embankments that compose the the Arco Metropolitano from Rio de Janeiro. The field instrumentation results will be retroanalysed, together with data available in the literature, seeking the definition of reliable parameters, representative of the behavior of compressible clay in the area of study. The Arco Metropolitano of Rio de Janeiro is a highway designed to link the main highways that cross the city of Rio de Janeiro. Due to the presence of large compressible soil thickness in some parts of the region, cut by the route of the highway, monitoring instruments, such as settlement plates and inclinometers, were used to evaluate the vertical and horizontal displacements of the landfill during the construction process. Representative landfills stretches were selected for this study due to the magnitude of settlements, quality of the result of instrumentation and different construction methods. By the analysis of the parameters from this project and the parameters found in the literature, it proceeds to the numerical simulation of the construction process of landfills selected with the PLAXIS software, of finite elements, through two-dimensional modeling. The numerical results are compared with field instrumentation (provided by settlement plates and inclinometer) and the results of theoretical predictions (one-dimensional consolidation theory). Results showed that the numerical modeling proved to be a suitable tool for the prediction of total settlements, thickening times and gaining strength over time. The back analysis of soft soils on landfill behavior allows the reassessment of project assumptions, once the limitations of the analysis of theories and the difficulty in the selection of parameters often results in estimates of repression inconsistent with the field observations.
