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

Pile-supported embankments are widely used in foundation treatments, owing to their safety,
efficient construction, and economy. The soil-arching effect is a key load-transferring …

Soil arching is one of the most important mechanisms in piled embankments. To investigate
the development of soil arching in piled embankments, 14 unreinforced and 8 geosynthetic …

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

Soil arching and tensioned membrane effects are two main load transfer mechanisms for
geosynthetic-reinforced pile-supported (GRPS) embankments over soft soils or voids …

Excavation is one of the common triggers for slope failures. Loss of support at the toe of a
slope due to mining excavation can cause unloading of geomaterials close to the excavated …

This paper investigates the response of a circular shallow foundation constructed above a
reinforced granular fill over clay deposit containing continuous square void. The numerical …

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 …

Soil arching is a common phenomenon in many underground engineering problems. This
paper develops a coupling approach involving the Finite Element Method (FEM) and …
