Critical height and surface deformation of column-supported embankments
Column-supported embankments with or without basal geosynthetic reinforcement can be used in soft ground conditions to reduce settlement by transferring the embankment load to the columns through stress redistribution above and below the foundation subgrade level. Column-supported embankments are …

Column-Supported Embankments: Full-Scale Tests and Design Recommendations
When an embankment is to be constructed over ground that is too soft or compressible to adequately support the embankment, columns of strong material can be placed in the soft ground to provide the necessary support by transferring the embankment load to a firm stratum. This technology is known as …

Lateral Spreading Mechanics of Column-Supported Embankments
Column-supported embankments (CSE) enable accelerated construction on soft soils, high performance, and protection of adjacent facilities. The foundation columns transfer embankment and service loading to a competent stratum at depth such that loading on the soft soil can be reduced. This has the …

Stability of Levees and Floodwalls Supported by Deep-Mixed Shear Walls: Five Case Studies in the New Orleans Area
… walls constructed by overlapping individual DMM columns installed with single-axis or multiple axis equipment include vertical joints caused by the reduced width of the wall at the overlap between adjacent columns. These joints can be made weaker by misalignment during construction, which reduces …
