Stone columns are a versatile ground improvement technique used since the 1950s. They involve compacting coarse aggregate in columns in the ground to reinforce, densify and drain weak soils. Stone columns can improve bearing capacity, stability, reduce settlements and mitigate liquefaction. They work by transferring loads around them to stiffer columns, accelerating consolidation. Installation methods include ramming and vibro-replacement. Case studies show stone column embankments experience less settlement than untreated ground. In summary, stone columns are an effective ground improvement technique to strengthen weak soils.

IRJET- Seismic Behavior of Tall Building using Piled Raft Foundation
This document summarizes a research paper that analyzes the seismic behavior of a 25-story tall building using a piled raft foundation. Two models of the building are created in ETABS - one with just a raft foundation, and one with a piled raft foundation. The building is analyzed for different seismic zones to compare the seismic performance. Key parameters like story drift, displacement, base shear, modal shapes, periods, and frequencies are compared between the two foundation models in each zone. The piled raft foundation combines the load bearing advantages of piles with the rigidity and load distribution of the raft. This study aims to understand how these two foundation types perform differently under seismic conditions in tall buildings.

712221003_gi - modified.pptx
This document discusses the use of stone columns and prefabricated vertical drains (PVDs) for ground improvement at a construction site in India. Stone columns involve compacting crushed stone into drilled holes to create load-bearing columns, while PVDs are vertically installed drains that accelerate consolidation by allowing water to escape from soft soils.

The results showed improved load capacity and reduced settlement. In conclusion, stone columns and PVDs are effective ground improvement solutions that can strengthen soils, accelerate consolidation, and improve infrastructure performance and stability.

Construction Solutions International proposes their Fixed Ground Anchor Position (F-GAP) system to provide long-term anchoring for floating oil booms. The F-GAP system was developed by Captain Darrell Wallace as a safe and reliable alternative to conventional anchoring methods. It utilizes impact-driven ground anchors that can be load tested to exceed 30,000 pounds of tension. The F-GAP system is cheaper and easier to install than pilings or spud barges, and allows damaged boom sections to be easily replaced while keeping the same anchor points.

Chapter 5 rock_slope_stabilization
Hand scaling and mechanical scaling are commonly used stabilization methods to remove loose rock from slopes. Scaling is effective for 2-10 years as a temporary measure. Trim blasting can also be used to remove larger sections of rock too big for scaling. Reinforcement systems work to strengthen slopes internally by increasing resistance along fractures, while external systems protect from erosion. The most effective stabilization strategies alter slope geometry or add reinforcement or drainage systems.

Foundation Design requires the knowledge of the behavior of the structure supported by the foundation as well as that of soil or rock that furnishes the ultimate support.
The super structure, foundation and soil or rock must act together and each must posses its unique serviceability and safety in the interactive system
The soil or rock may provide adequate safety of the foundation against failure, detrimental settlement may occur prior to any collapse. Which may be analogous to beam or truss in super structure but does not meet the serviceability(Deflection) criteria
The super structure designs are controlled by the strength of material such as shear strength ,compressive strength and tensile strength but deformations governs the design of foundation.

GWS Seawall
- 1. Seawall and Bulkhead Ground Works Solutions, Inc. 4759 Drane Field Drive, Lakeland, FL 33811 Toll Free: 866-987-3835, Info@groundws.com www.GroundWorksSolutions.com Rehabilitation Facilities that are adjacent to water bodies can experience substantial problems with their seawalls and bulkheads due to water infiltration and the washing out of support soils. The support soil degradation can cause severe operational interruption due to issues such as shifting seawalls, sinking drivelanes, and reduced structural weight-bearing capacity for heavy equipment or buildings. Ground Works Solutions (GWS) offers managers of marine facilities a unique solution for stabilizing support soils in a quick, minimally invasive and cost-effective manner. GWS offers the following services for marine facilities: • Structural Lifting, Leveling and Stabilization • Seawall Stabilization and Sealing • Craneway / Driveway Stabilization • Infrastructure Stabilization and Rehabilitation • Environmental Containment The URETEK polymer injection process allows (GWS) to directly inject its rigid structural geopolymer into the problem area to bind and stabilize loose soils. Once the weak soil locations are determined, GWS injects its URETEK polymers through ½” steel tubes either through the surface or the structure itself depending on accessibility. Once injected, the two-part polymer seeks out voids, densifies and binds the weak soils and vastly increasing their weight- bearing capacity. URETEK polymers are environmentally inert and hydro- insensitive, meaning they do not leech environmental contaminants and water does not affect the integrity of the polymer, protecting the structure against future water erosion.
