Appraising stone column settlement prediction methods using finite element analyses
(Springer Verlag, 2014-09-26)Numerous approaches exist for the prediction of the settlement improvement offered by the vibro-replacement technique in weak or marginal soil deposits. The majority of the settlement prediction methods are based on the ... -
Numerical modelling of the improvements to primary and creep settlements offered by granular columns
(Springer-Verlag, 2013)Analytical vibro-replacement design approaches typically quantify the settlement reduction using a dimensionless settlement improvement factor, defined as the ratio of the settlements without and with treatment. Most ... -
Stone column effectiveness in soils with creep: a numerical study
(Taylor & Francis, 2016-03-16)While it is well established that vibro stone columns reduce primary settlement and improve bearing capacity, their effect on creep compression has largely been overlooked to date. However, with increasing pressure to ...
