Abstract: Some influencing factors on vertical drain behavior were investigated by laboratory tests as well as by back-analyses of test embankments on vertical drain improved subsoil at Saga Airport, Saga, Japan. Based on the results ...

Abstract: Closed form equations for calculating the lateral displacement caused by the installation of soil–cement columns are derived based on cylindrical cavity expansion theory. The radius of the cavity needs to be predetermined ...

Abstract: The in situ deep mixing technique is an established means of enhancing bearing capacity and reducing settlement by placing columnar inclusions in soft ground. Developments in equipment and field techniques to implement ...

Abstract: A modified method is proposed for predicting the lateral displacements of the ground caused by installation of soil-cement columns. The method is a combination of the original method derived on the basis of the theory of ...

Abstract: On a macroscale, the effect of installing prefabricated vertical drains (PVDs) in a subsoil is to increase the mass hydraulic conductivity of the subsoil in the vertical direction. Based on this concept, a simple method ...
