This article explores the laws of displacement and settlement during construction of the riprap embankment based on the analysis of the monitoring data of the construction. The loading rate and the layered loading height shoud be under control in the process of the dyke construction. It is feasible to control the loading speed and layered loading height. Measures such as decreasing the loaded height, loading on both sides of the dyke simultaneously, timely following of apron rockfills and extending the time of permanent load should be taken to make sure the effective and safe dyke construction.
