Construction issues of high-speed rail infrastructures have been increasingly concerned
worldwide, of which the subgrade settlement in soft soil area becomes a particularly critical …

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

A series of model tests were performed using a 2D multiple trapdoor system, similar to a 2D
unreinforced piled embankment. Three soil arching evolution patterns were observed in the …

ABSTRACT A trapdoor system has frequently been used to study soil arching and its
development in recent years. The load transfer in the fill of piled embankments is very similar …

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 …

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

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 …
