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 …

The utilization of stone columns has emerged as a popular ground improvement strategy,
whereas the drainage performance can be adversely hampered by clogging effect. Despite …

Due to the lack of soil with sufficient load-bearing capacity and the ever-increasing number
of large-scale building projects, methods for soil improvement have become vital. Among the …

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 …

The application of stone columns increases the stiffness of soft soils which contributes to its
load carrying capacity and accelerates the process of consolidation leading to reduction in …

This paper proposes an analytical solution in terms of Green's function formulations for
axisymmetric consolidation of a stone column improved soft soil deposit subjected to time …

The macroscopic strength domain and failure mode of heterogeneous or composite
materials can be quantitatively determined by solving an auxiliary limit analysis problem …

This paper presents a simplified analytical solution to analyse the coupled excess pore
water pressure dissipation and deformation response of a composite stone column–soft soil …

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 …

The present study examines the stability of an embankment of cohesive-frictional material
placed over a purely cohesive stratum which is reinforced by means of uniformly spaced …
