Most analytical models for the design of piled embankments or load transfer platforms with
geosynthetic reinforcement (GR) include two calculation steps. Step 1 calculates the arching …

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 …

In coastal area, the long-term settlement of high-way embankment is seriously concerned.
Geosynthetic-reinforced pile-supported (GRPS) embankments have been widely adopted …

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 …

The rigid inclusion (RI) reinforcement technique has been increasingly used to reduce
settlements for engineering constructions over soft soils. However, the load transfer …

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 …

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 …

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) …
