Analysis of Load Transfer and the Law of Deformation within a Pile-Supported Reinforced Embankment

Abstract

In this paper, the load-transfer mechanism and settlement behaviors of the pile-supported reinforced embankment are reviewed by laboratory model tests, and a series of finite element method (FEM) modellings are conducted to analyze the soil-arching geometry and embankment deformation patterns of the pile-supported reinforced embankment [...]
