Black, J.A. (2009) Small scale physical model tests evaluating the settlement of vibrated stone columns. In: Proceedings of the 62nd Canadian Geotechnical Conference. GeoHalifax 2009 - Discover Geotechnique, 20-24 Sep 2009, Halifax, Canada. Canadian Geotechnical Society
Abstract
This paper reports on a series of laboratory experiments carried out to investigate the settlement performance of a rigid foundation supported on soft soil reinforced with Vibrated Stone Columns. A large triaxial system capable of testing samples of 300 mm diameter was developed. The parameters investigated included area replacement ratio (As) and column length to diameter ratio (L/d) beneath the footing. The significant findings of the work include (i) optimisation of As for settlement performance and (ii) the importance of foundation shielding to provide adequate column confinement.
