... ABSTRACT Stone columns are increasingly used in offshore applications in order to improve the soil bearing capacity, reduce settlement of foundations and to mitigate the potential of liquefaction. This paper describes typical applications and state-of-the-art installation techniques...

... ground deformation can be reduced by various ground-improvement methods including the stone column technique. An experimental program of dynamic centrifuge model tests was conducted to study the liquefaction remedial effects of stone columns in silty marine soils. The test results demonstrate that stone...

... ABSTRACT The geogrid encased stone column (GESC) system, which increases the confinement effect, has been developed to improve the load carrying capacity of stone columns. This paper investigates improvement in load-carrying capacity and reduction in bulging of a geogrid cncasedstone column...

... Stone column is one of the ground improvement systems that is used for accelerating consolidation and increasing bearing capacity for settlement sensitive structures like load embankments, bridge abutments, oil storage tanks etc. This method enhances ground bearing capacity, reduces settlement...

... of a trial embankment with stone column, and incorporated 3 separate sections (2 sections with stone columns, and a section without stone column), and is constructed on soft estuarine clay with high sensitivity. The trial embankments were constructed to evaluate the effectiveness of ground improvement...

... This paper presents a precious field practice of the soil improvement on the reclaimed land located at the western coast of middle Taiwan. Two kinds of techniques, Stone columns(SC) and Dynamic compaction(DC), were used to reduce the liquefaction potential of soils. During the progress...

... ABSTRACT Foundation system improved with stone columns is many difficulties in quantitative analysis of soil-column interaction due that bearing capacity and consolidation behavior of stone column is affected by various parameters. Because, behavior of composite ground develops in the soil...

...., the predicted settlement exceed the allowable settlement and ultimate bearing capacity is not satisfied. Therefore, refuse landfill was treated by stone columns. The effectiveness of dynamic replacement was verified by Standard Penetration Test(SPT), Plate Bearing Test(PBT), Pressuremeter TesffPlVlT) performed...
