Abstract

This paper brings the introduction of the analysis of foundation solution for the noise protection walls on the reinforced earth along the Highway Corridor Vc, a road and rail transport corridor that connects Hungary, Croatia and Bosnia and Herzegovina, included in the network of Pan-European transport corridors. A solution with pile foundations made of steel IPE profiles is presented in detail. During the design and modelling, as well as the calculation of the structural foundation, the modern software program PLAXIS was used, and the calculation was made in accordance with EN 1997 Eurocode 7, Geotechnical Design. Special attention is devoted to the analysis of the impact of driving IPE steel profiles, as foundation piles, on reinforced earth. The presented solution was then verified by an additional control calculation and a field test of the impact of the horizontal load on the bearing capacity of the IPE steel profile driven into the reinforced slope. Based on the conducted analyses and testing, it has been proven that it is possible to build noise protection walls on the reinforced earth without disturbing the internal stability and functionality of the reinforced earth.
