In order to control the differential settlement between the existing and widened
embankments, lightweight foamed concrete (LWFC) was proposed as a filler of the widened …

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 …

Soil arching exists in many earth structures, such as pile-supported embankments, tunnels,
buried pipes, and retaining walls. These earth structures are sometimes subjected to surface …

A numerical simulation of geocell-reinforced foundation beds is reported. The three-
dimensional geocells and soil are simulated separately using FLAC 3D Finite Difference …

This paper presents the results of a laboratory and numerical study on the effects of cement
treatment of the interface between geotextile and sand on the bearing capacity of a …

The objective of this case study is to evaluate the development of soil arching in an
embankment being widened. In two test sections, earth pressures at different locations were …

More and more expressways built on soft soil foundations need to widen their embankments
because they cannot fulfill the demand for the traffic volume. Geosynthetic-reinforced pile …

A geosynthetic-reinforced pile-supported (GRPS) embankment that consists of embankment
fill, geosynthetic, piles, and foundation soils is a complex soil–structure system. Its key load …

A series of laboratory tests were conducted to investigate the effect of the three-dimensional
arrangement of geotextile strips on the load-bearing capacity of a strip foundation on sand …

Three centrifuge model tests were conducted to investigate the influence of the number of
geosynthetic layers and the pile clear spacing on the global performance of Geosynthetic …
