Abstract
Currently, geosynthetics are used to reinforce pile-supported embankments in soft soils. Geosynthetics are widely used to reinforce pile-supported embankments in soft soils. Numerous studies have examined various factors affecting load distribution, including pile group arrangement, the presence of pile caps, and the type and placement of the geosynthetic layer within the Load Transfer Platform (LTP). In such foundations, the primary concern is the distribution of load among the main structural components. Based on guidelines, the load is divided into three parts: the part which is directed to piles, the part which is transmitted to geosynthetic, and the part which is entered into soft soil. The soil arching and membrane effects are two effective phenomena in the load distribution process. In this study, the experimental results showed the increase in the load transferred on piles with geosynthetic and the geosynthetic focused the load on piles through the membrane effect, as confirmed by the numerical model.
