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 …

Geosynthetic-reinforced and pile-supported (GRPS) systems provide an economic and
effective solution for embankments. The load transfer mechanisms are tridimensional ones …

Problematic soils exist almost everywhere on the globe. State‐of‐the‐art solutions to make
civil engineering infrastructures built on them are still highly sought. The CFG (cement‐fly …

The design of geosynthetic encasement is the most important factor that controls the
performance of the geosynthetic-encased stone column (GESC) improved ground, and …

This paper describes a three-dimensional (3D) numerical analysis of a test embankment on
geotextile-encased columns (GECs), in comparison with two-dimensional (2D) axisymmetric …

Generally numerical modelling can provide an accurate and cost-effective approach to
understand the behaviour of geosynthetic-reinforced column-supported embankment. When …

Geosynthetic-reinforced and pile-supported (GRPS) embankments are becoming more
popular as a solution for addressing soil structural instability. The interaction between the …

Since the initial conception of geosynthetic encased columns (GECs), exhaustion of column
capacity due to vertical loads in bulging and punching failure modes were readily …

Use of geotextile-encased sand columns (GESC) to improve weak soils is an emerging
technology that has great promise for field applications. This paper contains the results of a …

The objective of this study is to propose a reasonably accurate mechanical model for double-
layer geosynthetic reinforced load transfer platform (LTP) on column reinforced soft soil …
