Because of the complicated geometry and a lack of knowledge about the parameters that
impact it, estimating the ultimate bearing capacity (q rs) of a geogrid-reinforced sandy bed …

This paper reviews the main modeling techniques for stone columns, both ordinary stone
columns and geosynthetic-encased stone columns. The paper tries to encompass the more …

Many analytical and numerical analysis and design methods for geosynthetic-reinforced soil
structures require a single-value (constant) estimate of reinforcement stiffness. However …

Pile-supported embankments are widely used in foundation treatments, owing to their safety,
efficient construction, and economy. The soil-arching effect is a key load-transferring …

Granular column is an attractive mitigation method which is widely used in geotechnical
engineering to enhance the bearing capacity, reduce settlement and accelerate …

Stone columns develop their load carrying capacity from the circumferential confinement
provided by the surrounding soils. In very soft soils, the circumferential confinement offered …

Geosynthetic-encased stone column (GESC) has been proven as an effective alternative to
reinforcing soft soils. In this paper, a series of centrifuge model tests were conducted to …

This paper presents the results of a laboratory investigation into the behavior of a
geosynthetic encased stone column (GESC) installed in sand under cyclic loading using a …

A geosynthetic-reinforced pile-supported (GRPS) embankment is a complex soil-structure
system. The response of a GRPS system is affected by the interactions among its five linked …

Geosynthetic-reinforced and pile-supported (GRPS) embankments are becoming more and
more popular as this technique showed good performances in practice. Various design …
