... by improving existing knowledge, as previous equations have been appliable only to naturally deposited clays. Overall, the research should contribute to the planning and design of soft ground improvement projects involving reclaimed or backfilled soft clay lumps. Figure 3. Properties of soft clay lumps...

...N. Rahman; M. Rokonuzzaman; A. Rahman; T. Sakai Ground improvement is essential when constructing on soft soils with low shear strength. While ordinary stone columns (OSCs) are commonly used, their effectiveness is limited in very soft soils due to inadequate lateral confining support. This is due...

.... The simulation results indicate that for a GRS abutment built on loose sand, the displacement for the service limit is exceeded before the application of bridge load. Therefore, ground improvement measures are required to ensure that GRS abutments on loose sand can safely bear bridge load. For block...
