Vibro replacement stone columns are a ground improvement technique to improve the load bearing capacity and reduce the settlement of the soil. On many occasions, it is noted that the local soil is, by nature, unable to bear the proposed structure, so the use of ground improvement techniques may be necessary. Use of stone columns is one such technique. The stone column consists of crushed coarse aggregates of various sizes. The ratio in which the stones of different sizes will be mixed is decided by design criteria

ULTIMATE BEARING CAPACITY OF CIRCULAR FOOTING ON LAYERED SOILSVipin Joshi
The bearing capacity equations developed in literature considers homogenous soil below the base of the footing. But in actual practice soil mass is non homogenous & anisotropic. Therefore, while deducing the expression of the bearing capacity in case of circular footing resting over layered deposits, one has to take into account for a layered profile of soil. The paper presents the theoretical equation for the bearing capacity of a circular footing resting on layered soil profile using punching shear failure mechanism following projected area approach. The punching mechanism has been adopted while at “ultimate load” the mechanism of punching shear failure developed in dense sand has a parabolic shape when full mobilization of shear force into failure surface is taken into consideration otherwise punching failure is the actual failure while punching in the lower layer continues to a larger extent depending upon the loading at interface. For the analysis part frustum is considered to be a linearize curve for the actual shape of failure and a bearing capacity expression is deduced adopting certain assumptions. Stresses acting on the frustum have been analyzed and after series of integration bearing capacity equations is generalized. The proposed bearing capacity equation has been derived as a function of upper and lower layer properties. Finally the parametric study is carried out. The results of the parametric study were compared with the available equations in literature for the circular footing. Further, the results were validated with the experimental results reported in literature by other investigator.

Prediction of uplift capacity using genetic programmingAhmed Ebid
DOI: 10.13140/2.1.3107.6163
In most geotechnical problems, it is too difficult to predict soil and structural behavior accurately, because of the large variation in soil parameters and the assumptions of numerical solutions. But recently many geotechnical problems are solved using Artificial Intelligence (AI) techniques, by presenting new solutions or developing existing ones. Genetic Programming, (GP), is one of the most recently developed (AI) techniques based on Genetic Algorithm (GA) technique. In this research, GP technique is utilized to develop prediction criteria for uplift capacity of shallow foundations using collected historical records. The uplift capacity formula is developed using special software written by the authors in "Visual C++" language. The accuracy of the developed formula was also compared with earlier prediction methods.

Field and Theoretical Analysis of Accelerated Consolidation Using Vertical Dr...inventionjournals
Mumbai is the region consisting of soft compressible marine clay deposits. There are several construction problems on such soils and thus ground improvement is need to be carried out. Vertical drains is generally preferred technique as accelerated settlement is achieved during the construction phase itself if planned accordingly. The concept of vertical drains is based on the theory of three dimensional consolidation as described by Terzaghi (1943). Based on this concept, a consolidation programme is developed and an attempt is made to determine the field to laboratory coefficient of vertical consolidation ratio by Taylor’s Square Root of Time Method and Casagrande’s Logarithm of Time Fitting Method for this region. Based on this, the rate of consolidation and time required for consolidation in the field can be determined knowing the consolidation parameters. Equations are developed by using output of the programme and it is explained.
Scour prediction at bridge piers in cohesive bed using gene expression progra...Mohd Danish
Accurate and reliable estimation of the scour depth at a bridge pier is essential for the safe and economical design of the bridge
foundation. The phenomenon of scour at the pier placed on sediments is extremely complex in nature. Only a limited number of
studies have been reported on local scour around bridge piers in cohesive sediment mainly due to the fact that scour modeling in
cohesive beds is relatively more complex than that in sandy beds. Recent research has made good progress in the development of
data-driven technique based on artificial intelligence (AI). It has been reported that AI-based inductive modeling techniques are
frequently used to model complex process due to their powerful and non-linear model structures and their increased capabilities
to capture the cause and effect relationship of such complex processes. Gene Expression Programming (GEP) is one of the AI
techniques that have emerged as a powerful tool in modeling complex phenomenon into simpler chromosomal architecture. This
technique has been proved to be more accurate and much simpler than other AI tools. In the present study, an attempt has been
made to implement GEP for the development of scour depth prediction model at bridge piers in cohesive sediments using
laboratory data available in literature. The present study reveals that the performance of GEP is better than nonlinear regression
model for the prediction of scour depth at piers in cohesive beds
THE EFFECT OF IMPROVEMENT SURROUNDING SOIL ON BORED PILE FRICTION CAPACITY IAEME Publication
There is very close relation between the pile capacity and surrounding soil conditions. In cohesionless soil the bored pile effected on surround soil byloosen , deposits through a combination of pile volume replacement and exist of pile case used for installation of bored pile. .the pile foundation usually designed to exceed the weak soil to the firm deposit .in this study improvement of the weak soil surround the pile and observing the effect of improvement on pile capacity for bored pile. The improvement soil surround pile model was design to be as one block and kept this block will effect noticeably on pile load capacity results. the improvement suggested in this study is compacting and replacement for surrounding soil .
The ultimate capacities of single piles utilized in ten projects in Basra-Iraq are
evaluated using: various interpretations of pile load test results; several static
methods based on site investigation programs; and the finite element method via
(PLAXIS-3D).For the well-behaved tests, it is realized that the load-settlement data
can be best fitted by a hyperbola. Accordingly, Rollberg method well-harmonizes the
test results and allows various interpretation methods to be applied on the
extrapolated curves. It is found that, the static methods spread over a wide range of
values. Finite element analyses exhibited good agreement to the measured values. It
produces failure loads, almost, similar to that obtained from Rollberg method. The
finite element analyses revealed local settlement of (0.6% - 1.8%) of the pile diameter
to mobilize the ultimate skin resistance.
Performance Study of Square Footing Resting Over Geo-Grid Reinforced SandIJERA Editor
Decreasing availability of good construction sites and increasing construction activities for infrastructural developments throughout the world has forced the civil engineers to utilize unsuitable sites or weak soil. So for sustainable infrastructural development, there is a need to utilize these type of unsuitable land by the use of ground improvement techniques. There are different ground improvement techniques to stabilize the poor ground in which soil reinforcement is an effective and reliable technique. The objective of the present study was to determine the effects of the geo-grid reinforcement on the bearing capacity of sand. The model tests have been conducted using square footing at u/B=0.25 & 0.55. The average relative density kept up throughout all the tests is 65%. The sand is reinforced by multiple layers (1, 2, 3 & 4) of geo-grid. The ultimate bearing capacity of sand with square footing was computed by load-settlement curve. By these load-settlement curve, an appreciable increase in bearing capacity of sand was observed as the depth to the first layer of reinforcement increased. The optimum depth of placement of the first layer was 0.5B.

Hierarchical Digital Twin of a Naval Power SystemKerry Sado
A hierarchical digital twin of a Naval DC power system has been developed and experimentally verified. Similar to other state-of-the-art digital twins, this technology creates a digital replica of the physical system executed in real-time or faster, which can modify hardware controls. However, its advantage stems from distributing computational efforts by utilizing a hierarchical structure composed of lower-level digital twin blocks and a higher-level system digital twin. Each digital twin block is associated with a physical subsystem of the hardware and communicates with a singular system digital twin, which creates a system-level response. By extracting information from each level of the hierarchy, power system controls of the hardware were reconfigured autonomously. This hierarchical digital twin development offers several advantages over other digital twins, particularly in the field of naval power systems. The hierarchical structure allows for greater computational efficiency and scalability while the ability to autonomously reconfigure hardware controls offers increased flexibility and responsiveness. The hierarchical decomposition and models utilized were well aligned with the physical twin, as indicated by the maximum deviations between the developed digital twin hierarchy and the hardware.

22. Coupled stress-deformation analysis
BC increases with the increase in
◦ The angle of internal friction,
◦ Embedment depth,
◦ Footing width,
◦ Setback distance.
The increase in BC due to increase of embedment depth
of the footing is
◦ due to increase in the degree of confinement restricting the
movement of the soil towards the sloping face.
Beyond a critical setback ratio b/B = 3,
◦ the footing behaves similar to that on horizontal ground.
Bearing capacity reduces
◦ with the increase of slope angle,
which is associated with the increased soil movement towards the
slope.
The variation of unit weight and modulus of elasticity of
soil
◦ has marginal effect on the bearing capacity.
23. Theories of Meyerhof (1957) and Graham et al. (1987), and
the experimental work from Shields et.al (1977), Gemperline
(1988) and Garnier et al. (1994) ,etc.
◦ Provided a design chart needed
to predict the magnitude of Nγq .
◦ Design chart valid for only
a limited range of footing location and
embedded depth.
The experimental work of Meyerhof (1957) and Shield et al.
showed that
◦ soil with different value of ϕ° leads to
BC with respect to the distance of the footing.
While most of the theories developed for foundations near
slope are
◦ for cohesionless material,
◦ Meyerhof presented a solution for the case of
pure cohesive soil (ϕ°=0°).
Thus for cohesive-frictional material,
◦ equation qu,slope =cNcq +γBNγq may not be capable
to predict the ultimate BC of footing on cohesive-frictional materials.
24. Method of Gemperline (1988) has provided a
mathematical solution, which is valid for
◦ different size of footing and
◦ different horizontal and vertical location of the
footing.
The solutions of BC of shallow foundation on
slopes given by Saran et al. (1989) are
◦ valid only for Df/B=0 to 1 and b/B=0 to 1.
◦ For other footing locations and embedded depths,
the values of BC factors are
not accurately predicted.
25. All the approaches used by different
researchers for the evaluation of BC of
shallow foundation on slope or near the
slope
◦ have their own sets of assumptions and
◦ corresponding weaknesses also.
Some investigations show that,
◦ in case of non cohesive soils,
the BC is always governed by foundation failure,
◦ while in cohesive soil
the BC of the foundation is dictated by the stability
of slope.
26. Hybrid methods (viz. combination of FE method with Limit
analysis or FE method with Limit equilibrium)
◦ has been used successfully by many researchers
use of finite element analysis has been very nominal
till date.
Most of the research work has been carried
out on
◦ Strip footing
◦ but very few works has been reported on Square (Castelli et.al. 2012;
Acharyya & Dey 2015, 2017)
◦ and rectangular footing (Abbas & Sabbar 2011)
Use of circular footing has not been reported so far.
Most of the work was carried out for
foundation loaded with
◦ axial loads
but the case of inclined load is very limited (Georgiadis 2009; Ganesh et.
al. 2016)
27. To develop a numerical model

strip/square/rectangular/circular footing on/near a
slope.
Using Salome-Meca, FEA based software.
To evaluate the ultimate bearing capacity

To study the effect of different soil
constitutive models
on BC of shallow foundation on slopes.
To compare the result obtained in this
investigation
◦ with the generally used existing theoretical values
available in literatures of Meyerhof (1957), Vasic
