The Effect of Rigidity of Reinforced Stone Columns on Bearing Capacity of Strip Footings on the Stabilized Slopes

摘要: The effect of slope-stabilizing stone columns on the bearing capacity a rigid strip footing placed sand slope has experimentally and numerically investigated in this paper. A broad series conditions been tested by varying parameters such as rigidity their spacing row. Different types were studied including ordinary columns, encased concrete piles. Soil displacement fields obtained via particle image velocimetry method. results analyzed to find qualitative quantitative relationships among various parameters. finite-element analyses was additionally carried out prototype findings compared with from laboratory model tests. They also used complement agreement between observed computed is found be reasonably good terms load–settlement behavior optimum Findings study showed that increasing decreasing spaces result footing. This enhancement attributed arching soil columns. had significant arching. Moreover, improved.
