Abstract: When designing embankments over soft soils, geotechnical engineers face many challenges. These include potential bearing failure, intolerable settlement, and global or local instability. Pile-supported embankments have ...

Abstract: It is crucial for the design and operation of a high-speed railway to estimate and control the accumulative settlement of the subgrade induced by cyclic train loading. In this study, an analytical model, considering the ...
