Experimental investigations of driven cast-in-situ piles
(2014-08-29)The prediction of displacement pile capacity in sand is hampered by the extreme changes in stress which occur in the immediate vicinity of the pile during installation (Randolph 2003). High quality instrumented tests on ... -
The influence of creep on the settlement of foundations supported by stone columns
(2014-11-05)Vibro-replacement stone columns are widely used in geotechnical practice to improve the bearing capacity and settlement characteristics of weak natural soils and man-made fills, accelerate consolidation in fine soils and ... -
Numerical modelling of small groups of stone columns
(2012-09-21)Vibro stone columns, installed using the vibro replacement technique, are a cost effective form of ground improvement for enhancing the bearing capacity and settlement characteristics of various soil types. Large groups ...
