A study on the reinforcing effects of geogrids overlaid on pile group for the embankment foundations
Abstract
The reinforcing effects of geogrids overlaid on pile group driven in a very soft foundation ground were estimated through the simulation of the behavior of field test using finite element method. It was found from analytical and observed results that this reinforcing method largely contributed to improving the safety of the foundation ground under and around embankments. The influences of the interval between piles, the number of layers of geogrids and the stiffness of piles on the reinforcing effects are estimated on the basis of the results of finite element analyses considering consolidation phenomena, too.
