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 is one of the most important mechanisms in piled embankments. To investigate
the development of soil arching in piled embankments, 14 unreinforced and 8 geosynthetic …

Geogrid-reinforced and pile-supported (GRPS) embankments have been widely used in
road engineering due to their economy and effectiveness. The soil arching effect is a key …

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 …

Geosynthetic-reinforced and pile-supported (GRPS) systems provide an economic and
effective solution for embankments. The load transfer mechanisms are tridimensional ones …

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

The geosynthetic-reinforced pile-supported embankment is one of the favorable ground
improvement techniques used in the construction of earth structures over a compressible …

Soil treatment on site is an economical and environmental solution for many engineering
applications. The technique has been widely used in construction of roads and railways. In …

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 …
