Geosynthetic-reinforced pile-embankments: numerical, analytical and centrifuge modelling

Résumé

This paper presents numerical and analytical models to complement experimental data obtained from 40 centrifuge tests of geosynthetic-reinforced piled embankments, 12 of which had a surcharge applied at the embankment surface. The main parameters of study were pile diameter, pile spacing, embankment height and geosynthetic stiffness. The tests measured the force transferred to the piles, the embankment surface settlements and the maximum geosynthetic reinforcement deflections below the embankment under conditions without any support from the underlying soil. Maximum geosynthetic deflections measured longitudinally between piles were then compared with values predicted by European design guidelines. A 3D numerical model, initially validated by centrifuge tests, was then used to compute those geosynthetic tensile forces not measured in the reduced-scale physical models. Numerical values of geosynthetic tensile forces were also compared with corresponding values predicted by European guidelines.
