In order to accurately and easily calculate the settlement of the foundation, a high-speed roadbed based on a nonlinear algorithm is proposed to broaden the uneven and uniform reduction numerical analysis. The basic loading test results of the foundation loading test results in a series of sand-bearing test results made by gear suppressive elastic Mohr–COMB were verified using general finite element procedure ABAQUS. The results show that for most original slopes of 1:1.5 highways, according to the above research results and relevant specifications, the high-wig ratio of the steps should be controlled in 1:1.2 to 1:1.5. That is, when the width is controlled in a range of about 1.2 m, the height of the step is held at 0.8–1.0 m. The larger the role of filling the top surface, the more obvious is the role of the geogrid to reduce the settlement of the road embankment. Under the conditions of the same subgraduation, the reinforced road embankment of the geotechnical grille, the settling effect that occurs in the load activity is also more obvious. This method offers a better design and construction technique for expanding the project, investigates the control of differential settlements caused by excavation step size and geogrid size, and seeks more complete, scientific programmes. It has the potential to drastically reduce the project’s investigation effort, shorten the survey cycle, and provide incalculable economic and social benefits. Therefore, the research results of this paper have improved the reliability of existing ground settlement analysis.
