“…The reclamation was in the shape of a tree trunk, a crown with 17 fronds, three surrounding crescent islands that form an 11 km long breakwater and two smaller islands on the sides of the trunk that resemble the logo of the project's developer. The reclamation is approximately 5 km by 5 km, and has added about 78 km to Dubai's coastline (Hamidi and Varaksin, 2015). Sladen and Hewitt (1989), Lee et al (1999), Lee et al (2000), Lee (2001) and Na et al (2005) have studied the effects of sand fill placement methods in the sea.…”

“…Two sewage treatment plants (SPT), called Lot A-A and Lot G-G SPTs at the time of construction, are respectively located on the upper ends of the two side crescents of Palm Jumeira (Hamidi and Varaksin, 2015). Each Lot has a reinforced concrete tank with a diameter of 35.1 m. The design of each tank was based on the assumption that the dead and live loads would be respectively 49 kPa and 71 kPa.…”

The aim of this abstract is to present the main design and execution criteria related with ground improvement solutions, using jet grouting columns as foundation and cofferdam solutions, at the MYRIAD SANA HOTEL , located next to the Vasco da Gama Tower, at the Tagus river right bank, in Lisbon, Portugal. The hotel , with two underwater floors and twenty two upper floors, is located at the river, over alluvial soils with a thickness of about 17m, resting over Miocene soils. This complex scenario demanded the use of some unusual ground improvement solutions, related and interconnected with foundation and cofferdam solutions. The main results of the adopted finite element models are presented, as well as of the monitoring and survey plan.

“…Due to the similarity of the ground improvement technique applied at these two sites, only the first plant (Lot A-A) will be reviewed in this paper; however, Hamidi et al (2011) and Hamidi and Varaksin (2015) have described the ground improvement works of both tanks (Lots A-A and G-G) in detail.…”

“…It is noted that it is the authors' experience that due to their foundation sizes, tanks practically do not fail in bearing and that local shear failure beneath the shell, disruption of tank serviceability or structural damage due to ground deformations are more probable problems that need to be considered. (Hamidi and Varaksin 2015) Prior to commencement of treatment the working platform level was cut down to elevation +4.5 m CD.…”

Abstract. Although tank construction is well advanced in the Middle East, not all tanks are located on suitable grounds, and many require the implementation of specific foundation measures to ensure that design specifications are satisfied. While ground improvement of tank foundations in the region has a proven track record that dates back to the 1980s, and can potentially be the most appropriate solution for many tanks, it is the authors' experience that occasionally the projects' settlement requirements appear to have been influenced by building specifications that have not been developed for the purpose. Consequently and unnecessarily, more expensive solutions with longer construction schedules may have to be adopted that will not bring any additional benefits to the foundation solution. This paper initially reviews settlement criteria of a number of internationally recognized standards and then presents a number of case studies of tank foundation improvement by dynamic compaction and quality control by Menard pressuremeter tests.
