Abstract: This paper focuses on the mechanisms occurring in a granular earth platform over soft ground improved by rigid piles. Two-dimensional physical model experiments were performed using the Schneebeli’s analogical soil to ...

Abstract: This paper proposes a three-dimensional numerical modeling of an embankment over a soft ground mass improved by vertical stiff piles, using a finite-difference continuum approach (FLAC3D). Arching occurs in the embankment ...

Abstract: A full-scale experimental geosynthetic-reinforced piled embankment (GRPE) and its numerical back analysis are presented in this article. The site is in Virvée (France) and is part of the new South Europe Atlantic high-speed ...

Abstract: In the absence of high-quality soils, the rigid inclusion reinforcement technique has been extensively used in geotechnical engineering practice to meet the serviceability requirements of construction projects. This article ...
