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 lecture 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.
Soil arching plays a crucial role in the load distribution within the system, the presentation will provide a detailed explanation of the development of this soil arching.
