In very soft soils, the bearing capacity of stone columns may not improve significantly due to
very low confinement of the surrounding soil. Therefore, they may be reinforced with …

In recent times, geotextile-encased stone/sand column (GESC) is fast becoming popular in
various civil engineering projects due to its several ground improvements benefits. This …

Compacted granular columns are commonly used to support embankments over soft soils.
Using a reinforcement layer under the embankment causes the total stress to be further …

Soft clay soils are in many coastal areas, these soils generally have high compressibility and
don't provide required bearing capacity. Various techniques are used to improve these soils …

If the bearing capacity of the soil is not sufficient an improvement method has to be
considered. In case of soft and cohesive soils the vibroreplacement technique can be used …

The application of stone columns increases the stiffness of soft soils which contributes to its
load carrying capacity and accelerates the process of consolidation leading to reduction in …

Stone columns increase load carrying capacity when constructed in soft soil and help in
drainage of pore water from surrounding clay bed. With waste tyres being increasingly used …

Recent investigations have opened the prospect of using stone columns in collapsible soils
through the use of geofabric encapsulation. However, the effectiveness of this type of ground …

The precise estimation of bearing capacity (qrs) of stone columns reinforced with geogrid is
crucial given the intricate nature of geotechnical materials and geological factors. However …

Abstract Design of reinforced soil structures is greatly influenced by soil–geosynthetic
interactions at interface which is normally assessed by costly and time consuming laboratory …
