Abstract: The discrete-element method (DEM) has been successfully used to simulate the behavior of granular material and was used in this study to analyze the stresses and deformations of a single geogrid-encased stone column under ...

Abstract: This paper presents the results of a laboratory investigation into the response of stone column–improved soft clay under dynamic traffic load conditions. Six reduced-scale model tests were performed with vertical traffic ...

Abstract: The discrete-element method (DEM) was employed in this study to analyze the micromechanical behavior of an axially loaded geogrid-encased stone column (GESC) installed in a clay bed. A three-dimensional DEM model was ...
