ABSTRACT

In the present paper, the settlement response of stone column-improved unreinforced and geosynthetic-reinforced embankments resting on soft ground is presented. The effects of stiffness of the stone columns, soil arching within the embankment fill are incorporated in the developed methodology. It is observed that modular ratio or stiffness of the stone columns, spacing to diameter ratio, height of the embankment, depth of soft soil, stiffness of geosynthetic reinforcement play very significant role in settlement response of stone column-supported embankments.
