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 ... -
Some geotechnical characteristics of soft soil deposits along the Terryland River Valley, Galway
(2016)The ground conditions in the Terryland River Valley area present considerable site development challenges to geotechnical engineers. The soft soil formation consists of peat overlying very soft, highly compressible calcareous ... -
Stone column settlement performance in structured anisotropic clays: the influence of creep
(Elsevier, 2016-07-15)The recently developed elasto-viscoplastic Creep-SCLAY1S model has been used in conjunction with PLAXIS 2D to investigate the effectiveness of vibro-replacement in a creep-prone clay. The Creep-SCLAY1S model accounts for ...
