...L. Briançon; A. Pantet; J. Racinais; C. Terqueux; K. Varain Pile-supported embankments require a load transfer platform (LTP) between the piles and the embankment. Granular platforms are typically reinforced using one or more geosynthetics. As part of the French research project ASIRI+, we...

... embankments include one or multiple layers of geosynthetic reinforcement to resist the lateral thrust from the embankment, and a load transfer platform formed by the geosynthetic reinforcement and granular fill to bridge over the piles with smaller pile caps. A theoretical comparison between a CPS and a GRPS...
