...L. Thorel; M. Guerois; T. Dubreucq; M. Blanc Geosynthetic-reinforced piled-supported embankments may require the use of several strips of geosynthetics. The overlap of two strips of equivalent geogrids, located at the bottom of the granular (Hostun sand mixture) load transfer platform of constant...

... and efficient load transfer generally. Consequently, an optimum value of 0.3 and a worst-case value of 0.1 for the reinforcement spacing ratio were obtained and considered as representatives of two low-stiffness reinforcement layers for comparison with a single high-stiffness reinforcement layer, where...

...J. Derksen; R. Fuentes; M. Ziegler This paper presents interaction experiments with transparent soil to investigate the load transfer at the interface of different geosynthetic reinforcements. Microscopic interaction performance was evaluated in terms of mobilised tensile loads and interfacial...

...A. Khansari; L. Vollmert The collected field data for a geosynthetic-reinforced pile-supported structure (GRPS) in Hamburg is studied to identify the effect of environmental changes on the load transfer process over the structure lifetime. The prediction models in three design codes are applied...

... layer at the base of the mattress increases load transfer. A small-scale centrifuge model, the mobile tray device, is used to simulate the foundation behaviour by modelling soft soil settlement between the inclusions. A parametric study was conducted to examine the influence of the mattress thickness...
