There are limited information on how an artificially non-liquefiable soil layer created by
ground improvement beneath shallow foundations can help the reduction of liquefaction …

Dense granular columns are often used as a liquefaction mitigation measure to (1) enhance
drainage;(2) provide shear reinforcement; and (3) densify and increase lateral stresses in …

The geosynthetic-encased stone column (ESC) strategy has been extensively used for
improving soft soils. However, no studies have been conducted to assess the use of ESCs to …

The research aims to investigate and compare the seismic responses of various models,
including free field, pile group, fixed base, and shallow/deep foundation-structure with …

In this paper, three-dimensional finite-element analyses are conducted to study the effects of
ground-motion duration and the presence of velocity pulse on the pile responses in …

This paper presents the seismic analysis of stone column (SC) improved liquefiable ground
using a three-dimensional (3D) plasticity model with unified description of coarse-grained …

The installation of dense granular columns by various construction techniques can be used
to mitigate liquefaction through a combination of densification, increase of lateral stresses …

Stone column is one of the prevailing liquefaction mitigation techniques to densify the
surrounding soil, expedite the drainage and bring the possible shear reinforcement effect …

This study includes the results of a set of numerical simulations carried out for sands
containing plastic/non-plastic fines, and silts with relative densities of approximately 30 …

Installation of stone column is a viable, cost effective, and environmentally friendly ground-
improvement technique. Columns are made of compacted aggregate and are installed in …
