Comparison of analytical methods of basal reinforcement design for piled embankments with numerical modelling

Geosynthetics are used in many applications that aim to stabilize or reinforce soil containing structures, such as piled embankments. Several design guidelines have emerged (BS8006, CUR, LDC) that include analytical design methods for this type of structures. These methods are in general based on different initial assu...
