- Suzanne van Eekelen developed a design method for the geosynthetic reinforcement in the piled embankment. This model is available in excel: excel file with Concentric Arches model.
For the doctorate, the Deltares laboratory carried out a series of experiments, reported 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 match with the measured results.
