Abstract:
Soft soil reinforced by rigid inclusions under embankment is a soft soil improvement method, known as a piled embankment. It has been widely studied and applied over the world, since 90’s decade of the last century. The behavior of a piled embankment is mainly based on the formation of soil arching within the embankment and the negative skin friction around inclusion shaft. The paper investigates the mechanical behavior of a piled embankment to make clear the load transfer mechanism of the method. Additionally, some of the analytical methods in determining the stress transfer efficacy are presented.
