Abstract

In this work, the settlement deformation of the soft-soil subgrade and the deformation law of the geogrid were studied based on field tests carried out on the pile-supported reinforced embankment of the Rongwu Expressway in the Xiong’an New Area. The settlement and deformation law of the reinforcement area and the underlying layer of the pile-supported reinforced embankment, the settlement law of the transverse and longitudinal sections of the subgrade, and the deformation law of the bidirectional geogrid were analyzed. The results show that reducing the pile spacing and embankment height can effectively reduce the foundation settlement. The change in the pile spacing mainly affected the settlement in the reinforcement area, while the embankment height mainly affected the substratum settlement; the differential settlement in the subgrade cross-section was mainly caused by the settlement in the reinforcement area. The settlement at the center of the subgrade was obviously higher than that at the shoulder. In terms of the geogrid deformation law of the subgrade cross-section, the geogrid deformation at the center line of the subgrade was the largest. With the increase in the distance from the center line, the geogrid deformation gradually decreased. In terms of the deformation law of the biaxial geogrid, the tensile deformation of the geogrid in the center of two piles was greater than that in the center of four piles. The transverse tensile deformation of the geogrid was greater than the longitudinal tensile deformation. The tensile stress of the reinforced materials was calculated according to four specifications, and the applicability of various methods was evaluated.
