Understanding the load transfer mechanism can support engineers having more economical design of geosynthetic reinforced piled embankments. This study aims to investigate mechanisms by two different numerical methods including Discrete Element Method (DEM) and Finite Difference (FDM). The DEM model adopts (a) discrete particles simulate micro-structure granular materials (b) coupled element – f...

The practice of construction and operation railroads in the Arctic zone shows that greatest share track deformations occurs summer period during transition soils subgrade from frozen state to thawed state. Wetting, freezing-thawing, vibrodynamic effects trains have influence on properties clay composing railroad bed. A model a sub-tie base stabilized by geosynthetic materials is given. material...
