The design guideline CUR226 for basal reinforced piled embankments was published in March 2010 and revised completely in 2015. It can be downloaded at www.sbrcurnet.nl. The 2015 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.
