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 …

Vision-based deformation measurement methods have been proposed to overcome the
disadvantages of laborious, time-consuming measurement data that are difficult to …

Dynamic responses of the geosynthetic-encased stone column (GESC) supported
embankment under traffic loads have become a hot topic. This study investigates the …

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 …

In this paper, two centrifuge modeling tests were performed to investigate the influence of
basal reinforcement on the global performance of floating geosynthetic encased stone …

In very soft soils, the bearing capacity of stone columns may not improve significantly due to
very low confinement of the surrounding soil. Therefore, they may be reinforced with …

The bearing capacity and failure mechanism of encased stone columns are affected by
many factors such as encasement length, relative density, strength and stiffness of the …

In recent times, geotextile-encased stone/sand column (GESC) is fast becoming popular in
various civil engineering projects due to its several ground improvements benefits. This …

Encased stone columns are vertical inclusions in soft soils formed by gravel wrapped
usually with a geotextile. Their critical length is the one where further lengthening of the …

This paper presents a numerical study to evaluate the contribution of geosynthetic to the
shear strength of geosynthetic encased stone column (GESC) under direct shear loading …
