Abstract: Stone column is a convenient technique employed to enhance the liquefaction resistance of sandy soil subjected to seismic loading. After the end of an earthquake, the pore water pressures that generated during the earthquake ...

Abstract: Installation of stone columns is one of the most popular ground improvement techniques used to improve the strength of soft soil. Owing to the presence of more pores in the stone column, it acts as a drainage path for ...

Abstract: Retaining structures are often restrained in the case of cantilever in situ embedded walls, anchor, strutted, and bridge abutments and thus are subjected to rotation. The earth pressure distribution and point of application ...

Abstract: In the present paper, the modulus of subgrade reaction or subgrade modulus for sand–clay layered soil (granular fill over clay) with or without geogrid reinforcement is determined under vertical loading by a series of ...

Abstract: In the present study, the bearing capacity of rectangular footings resting on multilayer geosynthetic-reinforced granular fill overlying soft soil is investigated. Five different sizes of model footings are chosen in such ...

Abstract: In the present paper, the interference effects on bearing capacity and settlement behavior of two closely spaced identical footings resting on the surface of granular fill (sand layer) of limited thickness underlain by ...

Abstract: This paper pertains to the development of a mechanical model to predict the behavior of a geosynthetic-reinforced granular fill over soft soil improved with stone columns. The saturated soft soil has been idealized by ...
