Geosynthetic-reinforced pile-supported embankments: state of the art

Abstract: Geosynthetic-reinforced pile-supported embankments have been increasingly used worldwide to support earth structures. A significant amount of research has been conducted by many researchers and engineers in recent years. This paper provides a state-of-the-art review of this technology, and of important developments and results obtained throughout the years that help to better understand the mechanisms that play an important role in the design, construction, and performance of these systems. This paper begins w… Show more

“…Combining the EBGEO ( 13 ) and Hewlett and Randolph ( 10 ) methods and based on laboratory observations, Van Eekelen et al ( 9 ) proposed a new model with concentric arches and hemispheres for analyzing the arching effect. This method’s results are closer to measured results than are EBGEO’s, especially for thin embankments ( 1 ). Lee et al ( 15 ) proposed an inverse triangular shape distribution for the vertical load on top of the soft soil and a uniform distribution for stiff soil, which is compatible with Van Eekelen’s concentric arches model.…”

“…The construction of road embankments on soft soils often faces potential challenges such as bearing capacity failure, slope failure, lateral sliding, excessive differential settlement, and so forth. An effective solution is to adopt geosynthetic-reinforced pile-supported (GRPS) embankments ( 1 ). The inclusion of a load transfer platform (LTP) allows a more effective stress redistribution onto the pile caps and leads to a smaller differential settlement.…”

“…The current common view on load distribution in GRPSE, according to the works by, e.g., Le Hello and Villard [6], Satibi [7], Van Eekelen [8], Zhang et al [9] and Van Eekelen and Han [10], is illustrated in Figure 2. The resulting load on the pile heads (Q head ) is the sum of the arching and membrane effects.…”

“…Experimental work was extensively studied and presented by former researchers like Van Eekelen [5], who ignored the installation effect and focused on the behaviour of the load transfer mechanism in the soil-rigid inclusions matrix. Huu Hung et al [6,7] studied the effect of installation sequences of plain concrete rigid inclusions on the existing CMCs utilizing finite difference software without introducing the enhancement in soil parameters due to the installation effect.…”
