Abstract:Columnar inclusion is a versatile and cost-effective technique for improving weak soils. Currently, most approaches are based on the “equal strain” assumption to calculate the deformation of soft ground reinforced by columnar inclusions. In this study, a new model to simulate the behavior of column-reinforced soft soil under equal stress conditions based on the variational principles is proposed. The proposed model satisfies the force equilibrium and deformation compatibility simultaneously, which is seldom fu… Show more
