Load Distribution Form of Soil between Piles in Geosynthetic Reinforced Pile-Supported Embankment

Article Preview

Abstract:

The strict control standards for post-construction settlement of high-speed railway require high accuracy of settlement calculation. Harmonizing the contradiction that settlement calculation theory lags far behind the engineering practice, the computational method of additional stress of foundation urgently needs improvement. For Geosynthetic Reinforced Pile-Supported (GRPS) embankment, as the stress caused by the load acting on soil between piles is an essential part of the whole, the computed results of additional stress of foundation largely depend on the load magnitude and load distribution form of soil between piles. Starting with the mechanical behavior of GRPS embankment, this paper analyzes the classic assumptions of soil arch form and their computation theory of load acting on soil between piles, and then deduces the distribution function of parabolic load, which can provide basis for further research on calculating the additional stress.
