Abstract: This paper presents a probabilistic model for evaluating the liquefaction-triggering hazard in level, layered, and saturated granular soil profiles improved with dense granular columns (DGCs). The model is developed using ...

Abstract: Dense granular columns (DGCs) are generally known to mitigate the liquefaction hazard through a combination of (1) installation-induced ground densification, (2) enhanced drainage, and (3) shear reinforcement. ...
