Deltares has been conducting research on pile embankments for over 20 years. Please You can find our papers at at Google Scholar or the Deltares knowledge platform.
The results significantly contributed to the development of the Concentric Arches (CA) model, which was adopted in :the Design Guideline Basal Reinforced Piled Embankments.

The Design Guideline Basal Reinforced Piled Embankments can be purchased at Taylor&Francis Group/CRCPress or Amazon.
This paper provides a summary and this excel file gives this free and open Excel file contains the main equations. The guideline:
- Offers the most reliable and complete comprehensive guideline available for the design of basal reinforced piled embankments
- Features the most up-to-date insights in the behaviour of basal reinforced piled embankments, including the Concentric Arches model
- includes Includes extensive calculation examples
- Provides construction details and many practical tips
Prof. Richard Bathurst has written a review of our of our design guideline. You can read it here, with free access , which you can for free on the Geosynthetics International website.

For the doctorate, the Deltares laboratory carried out conducted a series of experiments, reported in in Van Eekelen et al., 2012a. Based on this, Van Eekelen developed the new Concentric Arches - design model for the basal reinforcement of the piled embankment (Van Eekelen et al., 2012b, Van Eekelen et al., 2013). This model was validated with measurements from seven full-scale projects and four series of scaled model experiments (Van Eekelen et al., 2015). The calculated results are almost a perfect closely match with the measured results. Suzanne van Eekelen received several awards for her work on basal-reinforced piled embankments.
