DEM Simulation of the Load Transfer Mechanism of a GRPS Embankment with a Fixed Geogrid Technique

As a new technique, a fixed geogrid in a geogrid-reinforced and pile-supported (GRPS) embankments has been used to reduce the total and differential settlement. To investigate the load transfer mechanism of the fixed geogrid technique of a GRPS embankment, three discrete element method (DEM) models...
