Earth platforms supported by rigid columns provide an effective solution for embankments
founded on thick deposits of soft soils. Nevertheless, the failure mechanisms and associated …

Geosynthetics have been applied in various engineering fields. This study investigates the
shear strength of a two-layer geotextile reinforced with a flowable fill. Three types of …

In pile-supported embankments, particle breakage commonly has a significant influence on
soil properties, governing the load transfer induced by the soil arching effect. Thus, the …

In this study, a concrete–cored gravel (CCG) column was adopted as a newly developed
composite column technique to support embankments over soft clay. Through a three …

A new geocomposite material introduced by cement treatment of the surfaces of an ordinary
woven geosynthetic. Thin layers of cementitious material created on the surfaces of …

The horizontal displacement and bending moment of piles due to adjacent shield tunnelling
with a large longitudinal slope were investigated. An analytical calculation method for the …

Geosynthetic-reinforced pile-supported (GRPS) embankment has been widely utilized in the
railways and highways subgrade of soft clay area. The load transfer platform (LTP) …

The observation of failure surfaces within column-supported embankments is critical to
understanding how the embankment stresses are transferred towards the column heads. In …

Construction of column-supported embankments (CSEs) with unreinforced high-modulus
elements is now common practice to accelerate fill placement. These brittle columns are …
