This study is concerned with evaluating and comparing the behavior of geosynthetic
encased stone columns (GECs) and ordinary (conventional) stone columns (OSCs) during …

The design of geosynthetic encasement is the most important factor that controls the
performance of the geosynthetic-encased stone column (GESC) improved ground, and …

This paper describes a three-dimensional (3D) numerical analysis of a test embankment on
geotextile-encased columns (GECs), in comparison with two-dimensional (2D) axisymmetric …

Since the initial conception of geosynthetic encased columns (GECs), exhaustion of column
capacity due to vertical loads in bulging and punching failure modes were readily …

This study highlights a novel approach to solving two severe challenges in geotechnical
engineering and environmental sustainability. Soft soils, characterized by low shear …

The ordinary (OSC) and geosynthetic-encased stone column (ESC) with different bearing
strata significantly influenced its behavior. The paper established seven models for studying …

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 …

An analytical model is presented for the design of geosynthetic-reinforced and pile-
supported (GRPS) embankments in this paper. The originality of the proposed solution lies …

In the recent past, geotextile reinforcement with wraparound ends has been recommended
to strengthen foundation soil to enhance the effectiveness of using the reinforcement. This …

This paper presents the results of an experimental research on the behavior of geosynthetic
encased stone columns and ordinary stone columns embedded in soft clay under dynamic …
