Installing stone columns in the ground is an effective improvement technique to increase the load bearing capacity and reduce the consolidation settlement of the loose or weak cohesive soils. In addition to the increase in the bearing capacity and reduction in the settlement, stone columns can accelerate the dissipation rate of the excess pore water pressure generated by the surcharge, which ex...

Developments and constructions on soft ground pose great challenges in the field of geotechnical engineering. Although is no longer considered a new concern developments constructions; there are many issues that may crop up repeatedly if proper planning, analysis, design, construction control supervision not implemented. This paper presents common faced aims to provide some insights good design...
