The bearing capacity and deformation characteristics of floating stone columns were complicated are not thoroughly understood. In the present study, a series experimental model tests under vertical plate loading was performed. This study investigated influence geogrid encasement on behavior provided valuable insight into load-displacement behavior, bulging deformation, load transfer mechanism, ...

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...

By installing FBG sensors on the geogrids, smart geogrids can both reinforce and monitor the stability for geogrid-reinforced slopes. In this paper, a geogrid-reinforced sand slope model test is conducted in the laboratory and fiber Bragg grating (FBG) sensing technology is used to measure the strain distribution of the geogrid. Based on the model test, the performance of the reinforced soil sl...

The method of encasing the stone column with a proper type geosynthetic material is widely used technique to provide required lateral confinement and avoid dispersion granular into soft clay. Along improved ultimate load capacity reduced settlement bulging, encasement preserves easy drainage ability columns. This paper presents finite element analysis results hypothetical embankment on soil dep...

In order to design civil structures that are supported by soils, the shear strength parameters of soils are required. Due to the large particle size of coarse-grained soils, large direct shear tests should be performed. In this study, large direct shear tests on three types of coarse grained soils (4.5 mm, 7.9 mm, and 15.9 mm) were performed to evaluate the effects of particle size on the shear...

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...

The “method of overlap” replaces traditional welding to solve the problem how geosynthetic-encased stone column is limited by frame during site construction, making construction simplified and economical, but its bearing mechanism not clear. Therefore, failure mode was studied through compression test multi-layer under dynamic static loading. research shows that encasement improves modulus late...

This paper reports the results of model loading tests performed on an eccentrically loaded strip foundation supported by multi-layered geogrid-reinforced sand. Only one type of geogrid and sand at one relative density of compaction were considered. Based on the present laboratory test results, an empirical relationship for the reduction factor has been developed. This relationship can be used t...
