A computation model for pile-soil stress ratio of geosynthetic-reinforced pile-supported embankments based on soil consolidation settlement

open access: yesAlexandria Engineering Journal, 2021
The pile-soil stress ratio (PSSR) is the key to the design and construction of geosynthetic-reinforced pile-supported (GRPS) embankments. However, the computation models for the PSSR which takes account of the effect of consolidation settlement of soil ...
