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

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 …

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 …

In recent years, geosynthetic reinforced column supported embankments (GRCSEs) have
become an increasingly popular design solution for road and rail infrastructure constructed …

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 …

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 …

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 …

Rigid piles are used to reinforce soft soil foundations and thus increase embankment
stability. This technique is improved by placing one or more geosynthetic reinforcement (GR) …

Generally numerical modelling can provide an accurate and cost-effective approach to
understand the behaviour of geosynthetic-reinforced column-supported embankment. When …
