Soil Arching due to Stone Column–Improved Loose Silty Sand

Abstract

Abstract Soil arching is an important phenomenon in geotechnical engineering because it significantly influences stress distribution and displacement patterns in earthworks. Nevertheless, the intricate behavior of soil arches, particularly in stone ... Practical Applications Designing stable embankments on challenging soils like loose silty sand, especially when ground improvement using stone columns is considered, involves complex load-transfer behaviors such as soil arching. Existing simplified ...
