This study presents the results of large scale laboratory model tests to investigate the behavior of Compacted Lime – Well-graded Soil (CL-WS) rigid stone columns in soft soils. The  unit cell idealization is used for construction of composite specimens by evaluating the influence of different parameters such as the diameter of the column (D), the slenderness ratio (L/D) and the area ratio (Ar)...

The ordinary (OSC) and geosynthetic-encased stone column (ESC) with different bearing strata significantly influenced its behavior. paper established seven models for studying the behavior of floating columns using finite difference method (FDM). effect geogrid length on load-settlement behavior, bulging deformation, failure mode, load transfer coefficient were also analyzed based proposal mode...

When embankment is constructed on very soft soil, special construction methods are adopted. One of the techniques a piled embankment. Piled (stone columns) embankments provide an economic and effective solution to problem constructing over soils. This method can reduce settlements, time cost. Stone columns improvement for soils under light structures such as rail or road embankments. The presen...

Vibrated stone columns are frequently used as a method of reinforcing soft ground as they provide increased bearing capacity and reduce foundation settlements. Their performance in relation to bearing capacity is well documented, but there is also a need for enhanced understanding of their settlement characteristics, particularly in relation to small-group configurations. This paper presents re...

By enhancing the applicatıon of grounds for establishment and due to the lack of appropriate sites, engineers attempt to seek out a new method to reduce the weakness of soils. İn aspect of economic situation, various ways have been used to decrease the weak grounds. Because of the rapid development of infrastructural facilities, spreading the construction operation is an obligation. Furthermore...
