Granular piles/stone columns are one of the most commonly preferred ground engineering
systems for improving a variety of weak soils, such as soft clays, loose sands, waste fills, and …

This paper reports a novel concept of ground improvement technique using cemented stone
columns for improvement of the soft clay ground. The experimental investigations and …

A straight-shafted cemented stone column technique for effective improvement of soft clay
ground was reported in 2017. The method involved transforming the conventionally used …

Land scarcity has prompted civil engineers to develop ground improvement techniques that
enable construction, for instance, on grounds with expansive soils. Stone or granular …

Understanding property changes in soil improvement using a new technique is critical for
enhancing engineering activity. However, little is known about nano-SiO2 pile-induced …

This work aims to study the modeling and sizing of a floor reinforced by ballasted columns.
We are studying the system of reinforcement by ballasted columns because this technique is …

Stone columns and geosynthetics have been widely used as effective stabilisation
techniques to improve the load–settlement response of foundations. In view of this, an …
