Geosynthetic-reinforced pile-supported embankments have been increasingly used
worldwide to support earth structures. A significant amount of research has been conducted …

Van Eekelen et al., 2012a, Van Eekelen et al., 2012b, Van Eekelen et al., 2013) have
introduced an analytical model for the design of the geosynthetic reinforcement (GR) in a …

For piled embankments, it is widely recognised that the majority of embankment load can be
transferred to the piles through the “soil arching” mobilised in the embankment. To date, no …

In this study, a full-scale high-speed railway embankment model was established for
assessment of the tensile force of the geogrid embedded in the sand cushion. Water bags …

Soil arching effect is a key load-transfer component in pile-supported embankments.
However, previous models that account for soil arching effect consider various assumptions …

A geosynthetic-reinforced pile-supported (GRPS) embankment is a complex soil-structure
system. The response of a GRPS system is affected by the interactions among its five linked …

A series of twenty-eight centrifuge tests was performed on piled embankments with basal
geosynthetic reinforcement to assess the influence of pile spacing, embankment height, pile …

Soft ground improvement techniques have evolved substantially in Brazil in recent years.
However, their application in soft and very soft clays requires a good understanding of the …

This study developed a large-scale laboratory apparatus to evaluate the load transfer
behavior of basal reinforced embankment fill because of soil arching and geogrid tensile …

The rigid pile composite foundation is widely used in highway projects in soft soil area as it
can effectively increase the bearing capacity and stability of the foundation. While the …
