Ground improvement techniques applied to very soft clays: state of knowledge and recent advances

November 14, 2022

Soft ground improvement techniques have evolved substantially in Brazil in recent years. However, their application in soft and very soft clays requires a good understanding of the fundamentals of ground improvement techniques suited to the problem as well as the actual field behavior when implemented on a real scale. This paper describes some of the mo...

Geogrid Mechanical Damage Caused by Recycled Construction and Demolition Waste (RCDW): Influence of Grain Size Distribution

April 06, 2020
Recent studies have shown that recycled construction and demolition waste (RCDW) can be used as backfill material in geosynthetics reinforced soil (GRS) structures. However, besides the environmental and economic benefits of this practice, it is necessary to evaluate the mechanical damages that RCDW could cause to the reinforcement elements. This study aims to i...

A review on some factors influencing the behaviour of nonwoven geotextile filters

June 23, 2020

Geotextiles have been extensively used as filters in geotechnical engineering for over 5 decades. The main reasons for this widespread utilization are that they are manufactured products with repeatable properties, are easy to install and to transport to distant working sites and can substitute natural filter materials where they are scarce or their use...

Behavior of Geosynthetic-Encased Stone Columns in Soft Clay: Numerical and Analytical Evaluations

October 24, 2018
The type of improvement technique that will be applied to a soil beneath an embankment depends on the nature of the problematic soil existing at the site. Soft soils beneath embankments typically present high compressibilities and low shear strengths. In some cases, geosynthetic-encased stone columns (GECs) have shown advantages over other solutions to improve e...
