National Project objectives
 
This National Project of research and development on reinforcement by vertical rigid piles is planned for a 4 years period: the first three years are devoted to bibliographical work, with data-gathering development and set up of experimental and numerical modelling, and with analysis of the first experimental data. The last year would be entirely devoted to the synthesis of the whole collected data, the validation of the design methods and draft of a document constituting the “Guide-lines relating to the set up and the design of embankments and pavements on ground reinforced by rigid piles”.
