... at a particular height of the wall. This integrated system aims to improve the foundation performance while ensuring long-term containment stability, leachate migration, and excessive settlement and embankment stability. Field evaluation was conducted along a 558 m-long embankment partition wall. Geotechnical...

... a bridge, or ground improvement techniques to reduce post-construction and differential settlement following the road upgrade. Ground improvement options including surcharging with or without wick drains and the use of rigid inclusions were considered. A major constraint was the adjacent wetland...

...Sinat Koslanant; Chaiyasat Sakulsaksri; Chaiyathawat Boonyong; Pornpot Tanseng In this article, two curve fitting observational methods for predicting radial consolidation settlement are proposed. The methods utilize computer programs with iterative optimization algorithms and numerical integration...

... undesirable settlements prior to erection of permanent infrastructure. Recently, the ground improvement technique has been adopted in combination with many other techniques. The current design methodology for surcharging based on the concept of average degree of consolidation is inadequate, as all the primary...

... by comparing both the profiles of numerous penetration tests performed before and after the treatment, and the respective values of the foundation settlement calculated using the practical method developed by Van Impe and De Beer, which allows the reinforcing and soil compaction effects due to the installation...

...A. Murali Krishna; M. R. Madhav; G. Madhavi Latha The settlement response of ground treated with granular piles (GP) is studied considering the densification effect for uniform monotonic loading. The densification effect is incorporated in the analysis by considering the variation of deformation...

... the performance of soil—structure systems during and after earthquakes inhibits the use of narrow densified zones, which could contribute to optimise the use of densification if the increase in post-earthquake settlement is restrained. Therefore this paper investigates the long-term behaviour of a footing built...

... bearing capacity equation for shallow circular foundations on sand. Also it was found that the structural skirts reduce the settlement of surface footings compared with footings without structural skirts. At a working stress equal to 50% of the ultimate bearing capacity, the settlement of a surface...

... of an improvement method, and the accelerations, pore water pressures and settlements are monitored during the tests. The outcomes, judged against each other, reveal that compacted sand piles are more efficient than gravel drains in the case of liquefaction resistance and settlement of the subsoil during...

...-soft deposit was strengthened with a high-strength geotextile. Prefabricated vertical drains and staged construction were used to accelerate the consolidation process. The monitoring of settlement and pore pressure requires modification of conventional instruments to cater for the low strength...

.... The predictions of the proposed equation are in excellent agreement with the experimental results. The experimental results showed that the use of structural skirts reduced the settlement by a factor of up to three depending on the skirt depth, geometrical properties of the skirt and footing, soil characteristics...
