Abstract: Dense granular columns can be used to mitigate liquefaction hazards through a combination of densification, increases in lateral stress, reinforcement, and drainage effects. Three-dimensional (3D) nonlinear dynamic ...

Abstract: The installation of dense granular columns by various construction techniques can be used to mitigate liquefaction through a combination of densification, increase of lateral stresses, reinforcement, and drainage. The ...

Abstract: A series of full-scale lateral load tests of fully instrumented piles in cohesive soils were carried out to assess the lateral response of piles in free-field and near a slope condition. The test piles were loaded laterally ...

Abstract: Four centrifuge tests were performed to investigate the reinforcing mechanisms of soil-cement columns in liquefiable sand. Two unimproved baseline models and two models improved with soil-cement columns were subjected to ...
