Stability of Embankment With Bamboo Pile- Mattress

Durability?

Bamboo is durable
as long as it is always saturated

Appropriate for embankment in

coastal and swampy area where
Increase resistance due to side friction from bamboo piles it is always saturated

However, embankment is still subjected to consolidation

settlement!!!

Conclusions

• Bamboo pile-mattress system is proven to be reliable and can be used Thank You
as ground improvement technique for coastal/ swampy embankment
on soft soil layer.
• The construction cost for this system is much cheaper than other
methods.

• Performance of the system can be predicted accurately as long as it is

modeled correctly.
