Lateral response of stiff column-supported shallow foundations
… resulting from the application of horizontal load on shallow foundations supported by stiff columns, are uncertain. Stiff columns constructed in soft clayey soil have been used to support retaining walls and in such cases, the lateral thrust applied behind these geotechnical structures is a …

Column-Supported Embankments: Full-Scale Tests and Design Recommendations
… soft ground to provide the necessary support by transferring the embankment load to a firm stratum. This technology is known as column-supported embankments (CSEs). A geosynthetic-reinforced load transfer platform (LTP) or bridging layer may be constructed immediately above the columns to help …

Enhancing the engineering properties of expansive soil using bagasse ash, bagasse fibre and hydrated lime
… of geosynthetic reinforced traditional angular load transfer platform layer combined with columns or piles supported embankments founded on soft soils. An equivalent two-dimensional FEM model with proper modified parameters of structure and soil models has been adopted to investigate the …

Lateral Spreading Mechanics of Column-Supported Embankments
… 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 beneficial effects of reducing settlement and lateral displacement, and improving stability. Selection of column …

Critical height and surface deformation of column-supported embankments
… 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 typically used to accelerate construction and/or protect adjacent facilities from …
