...C.-B. Xu; Y.-Y. Zhao; J. Zhang; J.-J. Zheng; W.-D. Deng; Z.-L. Yan; Y. Zheng Pile-supported embankments are one of the most commonly used techniques for ground improvement in soft soil areas. Existing studies have mainly focused on embankments supported by end-bearing piles under static loading...

... the expected settlement and to reduce construction time, a pile-supported embankment (PE) was initially designed based on driven precast concrete piles with a square pile head. A geogrid reinforced piled embankment (GRPE) system was proposed as a ground improvement method to replace the initial choice...
