driving piles through geotextile
driving piles through geotextile
(OP)
Please share your experiences. If the embankment is installed and grid is used to support a 1 1/2:1 slope just how practical is it to then drive vertical and battered H-piles. What are the appropriate precautions. Is there any guidance (FHWA, DOTs, AASHTO) that provides some insight?

Two things to consider:
1- If your embankemnt will fail in planar or surficial way, then you can measure the distance from the edge of the pile to the slope face(or where the geogrid begins) and then rerun the embankment slope analysis with the shortened geogrid length.
2- If the embankment slope will fail by rotation, then your pile (vertical or raker) will actually improve the embankment stability and there is no concern.

I just can't quite see it happening, 'cause how do you gauge success or recognize failure?
I do get these calls though. . .
