The design of earthquake-resistant structures depends greatly on the soil–foundation–
structure interaction. This interaction is more complex in the presence of liquefiable soils …

Pile foundation is an effective technique to support buildings in the presence of soft soil and
seismic areas. More recently, the rigid inclusions system has also been utilized for founding …

The soil liquefaction is a major cause of damage in structures during earthquakes. This
damage varies from small settlements to complete failure due to the loss of bearing capacity …

A great amount of earthquakes have caused the collapse of important structures along the
history. The design of earthquake-resistant structures depends greatly of the soil-structure …

While the behaviour of rigid inclusion improvement systems under monotonic loading is well
known, the response under cyclic loading is not yet fully understood and cannot be …

This paper is based on small-scale laboratory tests (1: 10) of a rigid inclusion-improved soil
under normal gravity. A low area improvement ratio (2.4%) under monotonic and cyclic …

This research work is a contribution to the understanding of the behaviour of rigid pile
reinforcement under a quasi-static vertical cyclic loading. While the system behaviour under …

The soil-improvement technique by rigid inclusions represents today a practical, economical
and time-saving solution that allows the use of shallow foundations on compressible soils …

This paper investigates the effect of subsoil compressibility on the efficiency of piles
supporting embankments. The analysis was carried out on a 1: 10 scaled model comprising …

Earthquakes produce massive damage in the road embankment especially if the
embankment based on soft subsoil, and this damage which in turn causes great economic …
