Abstract

The extensive surface deposits of clay/peat in the Netherlands cause difficulties in the field of construction and maintenance of infrastructure. One of the main concerns is long term settlement due to the high compressibility and low strength of the soil. Of the various available vertical reinforcing techniques for in-situ ground improvement, reinforcing elements using cast-in piles/walls have received increasing popularity in the recent past. In this investigation, by means of 3D non-linear finite element analyses, the interaction of the components of pavement/soil-wall structures on soft soils and the internal mechanisms that lead to damage have been addressed. The emphasis is placed not on the manifestations of damage but on the actual causes.
