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

This paper describes a full-scale experiment of pile-supported embankments on soft soil,
which is conducted within the French national research project, Amélioration des Sols par …

Geosynthetic-reinforced and pile-supported (GRPS) systems provide an economic and
effective solution for embankments. The load transfer mechanisms are tridimensional ones …

The performance of four sections of a full-scale embankment constructed on soft soil is
examined using a fully coupled and fully three-dimensional finite element analysis. The four …

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 …

Soil arching exists in many geotechnical applications, including tunnels, buried pipes, and
geosynthetic-reinforced pile-supported (GRPS) embankments. Soil arching has been mostly …

The reinforcement of soils using rigid inclusions is a technique used to reduce settlements
and to ensure the stability of an embankment built over soft soils. This technique reduces …

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 …

Geosynthetic-reinforced and pile-supported (GRPS) embankments are becoming more and
more popular as this technique showed good performances in practice. Various design …

Piled foundations are commonly employed to reduce settlements in artificial earth
embankments founded on soft soil strata. To limit the number of piles and, consequently …
