... where the evolution of soil arching and the development of subsoil consolidation have been synthetically considered. The main innovation is that the effect of the soil-reinforcement interface interaction is particularly focused. The proposed method is validated based on the field test results...

... Soil arching Instrumentation The induced trench installation (ITI) method (also known as the imperfect trench installation method) has been implemented for many years to reduce vertical earth pressures acting on buried rigid pipes under high embankment fills. In this method, a relatively soft...

..., the tensile forces in reinforcement layers, surface settlement of test fill and vertical earth pressure within test fill were monitored. The experimental results of the trapdoor tests are presented and discussed. Trapdoor tests have been used extensively to investigate soil arching (Terzaghi 1943...

... that combines several phenomena such as the concentric arches model in cohesive fill soils, the hyperbolic model for the isochrone geogrid curve, and subsoil's consolidation. Three-dimensional numerical analyses are also conducted to evaluate the embankment soil cohesion influence on the soil arching. Both...

... of load cycles. The number of geosynthetic reinforcement layers does not appear to influence the soil arching and cumulative settlements. A simplified geological profile composed of a 10 m weak silty clay layer founded on a non-deformable soil stratum is considered. The groundwater is positioned...

...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...

... installed with one side fixed in the existing embankment to provide enough anchorage in the physical model tests. Settlements of the embankment, strains in the geogrids and earth pressures were monitored during the test. The test results show that the geogrid layers stabilised the soil arching...
