The Design Guideline Basal Reinforced Piled Embankments can be purchased at Taylor&Francis Group/CRCPress, Amazon or Bol.com. This paper provides a summary.
- Offering the most reliable and complete guideline available for the design of basal reinforced piled embankments
- Featuring the most up-to-date insights in the behaviour of basal reinforced piled embankments, including the Concentric Arches model
- Extensive calculation examples are included
- Providing construction details and many practical tips
Prof. Richard Bathurst has written a review of our design guideline. You can read it here, with free access on the Geosynthetics International website.
The 2016 revision adopted the Concentric Arches model developed by Deltares. This model was described in the doctorate dissertation of Van Eekelen, 2015 and two open access journal papers: Van Eekelen, et al, 2015 and Van Eekelen, S.J.M. et al, 2013.
Design Guideline Basal Reinforced Piled embankments.
The design guideline consists of:
- Requirements and limitations, how to calculate with traffic, partial safety factors
Designing piled embankments
The Dutch design guideline CUR226 for the design of piled embankments is available since March 2010. Here, you can read more about this design guideline and its Task Group. The Dutch version of the design guideline can be ordered at CUR. A major part of the design guideline is available (in English) in the software tool MPiledRoad. The current ß-version is available free of charge, via Frank Engering. Here , you can read more about MPiledRoad.
