Numerical study of basal reinforced embankments supported on floating/end bearing piles considering pile-soil interaction

摘要

Construction sites consisting of soft soils may require ground improvement to prevent excessive settlements or bearing capacity type failures and shear movements, which results in construction delays and premature failures. Among the various ground improvement techniques, the Geosynthetic Reinforced Piled Embankment Systems (GRPES) provide a practical and efficient solution due to the low cost and short construction times. Most of the piled embankments are constructed on end bearing piles. At la
