Abstract: Geosynthetic-reinforced and pile-supported (GRPS) earth platform has been emerged as an effective alternative successfully adopted worldwide to solve many geotechnical problems. This paper provides the state of the practice review of the use and design of GRPS embankments. The review includes working mechanisms, design considerations, and applications of GRPS embankment systems. The review concludes that GPRS embankment systems are most suitable for situations with a very soft soil underlain by a stiff soil layer or bedrock, new fill with certain thickness needed, rapid construction necessary, and strict total/differential settlement required. The common applications of these systems include bridge approach, roadway widening, and railroads or highways across soft soil.

Key words: pile, composite foundation, geosynthetic-reinforced and pile-supported earth platform
