A common approach for ground improvement of soft clays is installing stone columns to increase the bearing capacity, reduce the settlement, and accelerate the consolidation time. However, stone columns may not have sufficient capacity in very soft formations due to the lack of confinement of the enfolding soft soils. The contamination of column agg...

In real field scenario, most of the rural unpaved roads rest on locally available deformable soil subgrade having generalized shear strength parameters. During the construction and vehicular loading stages, the weak subgrade undergoes deformation, thereby necessitating proper ground improvement to increase the strength of the deformable subgrade. T...
