Experience of Using Crushed-stone Reinforcing Elements in Various Ground Conditions

Stone columns are one of the widely used methods for improving weak foundation soils, since this method is not only cost-effective, but also ecologically safe, since natural materials (stone, gravel etc.) are used as stone column aggregate. Stone columns increase the bearing capacity of the foundati...

Description
Summary:Stone columns are one of the widely used methods for improving weak foundation soils, since this method is not only cost-effective, but also ecologically safe, since natural materials (stone, gravel etc.) are used as stone column aggregate. Stone columns increase the bearing capacity of the foundation soils, reduce settling and help to accelerate the consolidation process. This paper presents the results of field research of crushed-stone reinforcing elements and soil between them by the plate test method and the static sounding method.
