Geogrid-Reinforced and Pile-Supported Roadway Embankment

Settlement is one of the major concerns in roadway embankment construction in areas where soft soil deposits constitute the major portion of subsurface soil. A pile foundation system is an effective way to support an embankment in order to minimize total settlement. In recent years, geosynthetic reinforcement has been successfully incorporated with pile foundations to improve settlement performance. Referred to as Load Transfer Platform (LTP),...
