| description | This paper deals with using the stone column as a technique for the enhancement of the soft ground. The key goal of utilizing stone column is to decrease settlement and to increment the soil bearing ability, as well as decreasing the consolidation period. Nowadays, the current method concerns with various kinds of soil granular and cohesive. It is clear that the delicate soils (cohesive) possess a good settlement because of the disability of the ground to control the sidelong development and protruding of the stone sections. Moreover, the ways of utilization of the geosynthetic materials for encasement of the stone sections are other perfect ways to enhance the implementation, the quality, and firmness of stone segments. The present work investigates the behavior of the soft soil reinforced with ordinary and encased stone columns with geogrid under cyclic load. Six model tests were carried out on a soil with shear strength of about 15 kPa for both ordinary stone columns (OSC) and geogrid encased stone columns (ESC). For validating the enhanced method of utilizing stone columns, finite element model using the software PLAXIS 3D and field load exams had been applied. It was concluded that the models subjected to cyclic loading under the rate of loading 10 mm/sec reached the failure level faster than models tested under the rate of loading 5 mm/sec. The results of the finite element analyses of settlement compared with the records of settlement after the laboratory load tests seem to yield reasonably comparable values up to 50% of the design load. Afterwards, the recorded settlements show up to 60% higher values in compare with the results of the finite element analyses. This observation can be attributed to the occurrence of plastic failures under increasing load after an initial elastic response. |
