Abstract
This paper presents instrumentation results and analyses of a low-height, geosynthetic-reinforced, column-supported embankment constructed in Brazil. The approach involves back analyzing relevant properties of the embankment fill and geogrid reinforcement and applying the Load Displacement Compatibility (LDC) approach to calculate geogrid deflections in a unit cell of a square pile cap array. The results show that the LDC approach is consistent with the observed response of the embankment.
