Abstract: During many earthquakes, soil liquefaction causes dramatic damage. The use of a granular column is a ground-improvement technique used to mitigate soil liquefaction. The present paper studies the performance of reinforcement ...

Abstract: An analytical model dealing with the problem of an expanded cylindrical cavity in an elastoplastic medium is presented. The constitutive material is assumed to be weightless, homogeneous, and isotropic; its resistance is ...

Abstract: This paper studies the effect of certain parameters closely related to the design of column foundations such as the improvement area ratio, especially at low values, e.g., 1 and 4%, and the grain size of the column material ...

Abstract: To assess the geotechnical properties of soil, the pressuremeter test has been widely employed since its introduction in 1955. This test is instrumental in determining key parameters such as the limit pressure (Pl), creep ...
