GRPS embankment in the Krimpenerwaard, Netherlands. Installation of geotextile reinforcement, at the bottom of the embankment. (a) across road way, (b) along road way. The concrete pre-cast pile caps were covered by a non woven for protection of the reinforcement
Installation monitoring
Cross section test section, the ground water level was measured with pore pressure transducers. The groundwater table varied strongly.
