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

The stability of open-pit mine slopes is crucial for safe and efficient mining operations.
However, the presence of weak interlayers poses significant challenges in maintaining the …

This paper investigated effects of geogrid reinforcement on the load transfer in pile-
supported embankment under cyclic loading using self-moving trapdoor tests. In the self …

Load transfer platform (LTP) plays an important role in load transfer between piles and
subsoil in pile-supported embankments over soft soils. This study conducted spring-based …

Cyclic loading greatly affects soil arching, and existing studies mainly investigate the effect
of cyclic loading on soil arching by a fixed rigid trapdoor model, failing to simulate the …

This study presents a hybrid framework to predict stability solutions of buried structures
under active trapdoor conditions in natural clays with anisotropy and heterogeneity by …

As an important load transfer mechanism within the pile-supported embankment, soil
arching is frequently investigated by trapdoor tests. The traditional trapdoor test is usually …

This study uses the discrete element method (DEM) to simulate the soil arching effect of
composite piles supporting foundation pits during excavation and revealed the influences of …

Well-designed field full-scale model tests were carried out to enhance the understanding of
geogrid-reinforced and floating pile-supported (GRFPS) embankments constructed on …
