Numerical modelling of arching in piled embankments including the effects of reinforcement and subsoil

Piled embankments provide an economic and effective solution to the problem of constructing embankments over soft soils. This method can reduce settlements, construction time and cost. The performance of piled embankments relies upon the ability of the granular embankment material to arch over the...
