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 effect is a key load-transfer component in pile-supported embankments.
However, previous models that account for soil arching effect consider various assumptions …

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 …

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) …

Soft soil improvement techniques using a network of rigid inclusions and geosynthetic
reinforcement are investigated to improve our understanding of load transfer mechanisms …

Soil arching effect results from the non-uniform stiffness in a geosynthetic-reinforced and
column-supported embankment system. However, most theoretical models ignore the …

Structures with shallow foundations are susceptible to excessive settlement and rotation in
the event of earthquake-induced soil liquefaction. Numerical modelling of the problem …

The paper aims at comparing the deformation behaviour of unreinforced embankments,
basal reinforced embankments and geosynthetic reinforced embankments with floating and …

The granular cushion has been increasingly used as a load transfer platform between a
column foundation and a raft to ensure appropriate contact and load transfer among the raft …

This paper presents numerical and analytical models to complement experimental data
obtained from 40 centrifuge tests of geosynthetic-reinforced piled embankments, 12 of which …
