Abstract
The increasing need for infrastructure development has often forced engineers to deal with building on soft soils. The soft soil cannot take external load without having large deformations. Thus, soil improvement is needed. One of the soil improvement techniques is a “piled embankment”. Several analytical methods exist for the design of piled embankments. However, there are uncertainties with the methods as the piled embankment consists of complex soil-structure interaction. Nowadays, numerical methods such as finite element analysis are available for analysing complex soil structure interaction problems. Nevertheless, clear and uniform procedures or guidelines on piled embankment design with finite element method are not available. This research is aimed to establish reliable calculation procedures of piled embankment design using finite element analysis. For this reason, literature about piled embankments is analysed and a comprehensive research proposal on numerical analyses of piled ...
