...W. Mohammed; J. Han The need for constructing a shallow or deep foundation (e.g. piles) in a mechanically stabilized earth (MSE) wall for superstructure support has increased. However, the performance of laterally loaded piles within the MSE wall and their interaction with soil and reinforcement...

...P. Shen; C. Xu; J. Han Three centrifuge model tests were conducted on geosynthetic-reinforced pile-supported (GRPS) embankments with side slopes to investigate the influence of pile end-bearing conditions and pile modulus on their performance. This study found that when end-bearing piles were used...

...C. Xu; S. Song; J. Han 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 transfer mechanisms include soil arching and tensioned membrane effects and subsoil...
