A Numerical Investigation of the Seismic Response of the Aggregate Pier Foundation System
The response of an aggregate pier foundation system during seismic loading was investigated. The factors and phenomena governing the performance of the aggregate pier and the improved ground were identified and clarified. The key factors affecting the performance of the aggregate pier include soil …

DEM Study of a Single Stone Column in a Clayey Stratum
<p>Aggregate piers are an alternative ground improvement technique used for improving the bearing capacity and reducing the total and differential settlement of foundations supported on compressible soils. The piers are composed of a series of vibrationally compacted aggregate lifts from a desired …

Numerical Analysis of RAP Elements under Dynamic Loading
… field testing program was initiated and Rammed Aggregate Piers� (RAP) were shown to be a feasible method to mitigate the risk from liquefaction during future events. To better design and more fully assess the efficacy of reinforcement techniques against liquefaction, pre- and post-treatment …
