Abstract

To optimization design of pile supported embankment on the soft soil ground, the numerical simulation is carried out to investigate the performance of pile supported embankment. The four embankments investigated include supported by piles only case, supported by caped piles only case, supported by both piles and geosynthetic case and supported by both caped piles and geosynthetic case. Finally, to further investigate the performance of pile supported embankment, five key influencing factors are chosen for parametric study. The results show that the pile cap and geosynthetic can reduce the settlement, but the effect of geosynthetic is not obvious. The effect of this transferring load of the pile caps is larger than the geosynthetic, and the effect of pile caps is larger than the geosynthetic. Moreover, the effect of geosynthetic will be weakened as the case with the pile caps.
