...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...

... was also taken into account. Furthermore, results from a parametric study to investigate the significance of creep on the overall behaviour of GRPS by varying the creep model parameters are presented.

... for the embankment stress, denoted E_σp over the pile caps and E_σs elsewhere. These quantities are given by the following equations (Timoshenko and Woinowsky-Krieger 1959 ; Chia 1980): Geosynthetic-reinforced, pile-supported embankments provide...

...R.H. Plaut; G.M. Filz ABSTRACT: In the first part of this study, the geosynthetic reinforcement in a pile-supported embankment was modelled as a thin plate, and in the second part it was modelled as a cable net. Three-dimensional analyses were conducted. A notable feature of the results...

... et al. (1998) for a geogrid in a pile-supported embankment, but only in a vertical plane. Finally, Russell and Pierpoint (1997) used FLAC3D with a cable net model to examine the behaviour of a geogrid over a unit cell of piles in an embankment, and presented results for the settlement, cable...
