- Scaled tests at the Deltares Model Hall.
- Nearly full-scale tests in a deep test pit at the University of Darmstadt.
- The application of modern DFOS technology to gives a 3D picture of the deformations and strains in the embankment.
- 3D FEM analyses.
- Development of a calculation model to design the steel reinforcement of a piled embankment.
LargeTest pit for the large-scale test at TU Darmstadt, 16 piles centre-to-centre 1.25 m, sand being pluviated, DFOS sensors for measuring 3D deformations installed, cross-section, DFOS for soil strains and pressure cells installed.
