Stone column technique is mostly used to reinforce soft cohesive soils. Settlements are decreased under foundations and bearing capacity is increased. This study initially focuses on a comprehensive review of literature about stone column reinforced soils. Afterwards, numerical modeling of stone column reinforced soft clays is done. Three different cases are chosen on different foundation soils mainly soft clays. Parametric studies are done to determine influence of parameters on settlement reduction ratio under three different foundation conditions. Analyses are converted to two dimensional conditions and this conversion is also compared within the scope of this study. Settlement reduction ratio response to variation in parameters revealed similar results under three different foundation conditions

Determination of stress concentration factor in stone columns by numerical modelling
Yıldız, Melis; Erol, Ahmet Orhan; Department of Civil Engineering (2013)
The behaviour of stone columns in soft cohesive soil is investigated by finite element analyses. Conventional design methods and settlement calculations of improved ground require the knowledge of stress concentration factor which is in stone column design practice either determined by field tests or estimated from recommendations given in literature. The former is not economical for small to medium scale projects. This study focuses on the determination of stress concentration factor in stone columns by nu...
A WASHING THEORY FOR UNSATURATED FILTER CAKES USING THE CAPILLARY MODEL
BATIGüN, AYSEGüL; Tosun, İsmail (Informa UK Limited, 1987-11)
A rigorous washing theory is developed using the area averaging technique for unsaturated filter cakes. Limiting cases of the resulting equations are investigated. The assumptions used in the modelling are verified. The mass transfer parameters, which are evaluated by the application of the moment analysis, are shown to be directly proportional with the volumetric flow rate of the wash liquor. Experimental results also indicate that, for a given wash liquor volumetric flow rate, the increase in the cake ...
A Study on Tensile Strength of Compacted Fine-Grained Soils
Dagar, Volkan; Çokça, Erdal (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2020-08-01)
The tensile strength of clay is a major mechanical parameter and the main controlling parameter of tensile crack development which is generally encountered in geostructures. In this experimental study, 8-shaped direct tensile test and split tensile test were used to measure the tensile strength of compacted clay soil. Unconfined compression tests on the same clay samples were also carried out. Tensile strength and unconfined compression test results were compared. Laboratory tests were performed on Ankara c...
Three dimensional finite element analysis of a novel bracing system in small deep excavations
Özlü, Pelin; Toker, Nabi Kartal; Department of Civil Engineering (2012)
One of the most common retaining systems for deep excavations is by supporting a wall with multiple levels of anchors. In densely built urban areas, preventing soil movement with such a system can be very costly. Additionally, anchored walls are assumed and forced to act independently during design calculations, thus fail to take the advantage of the rigidity of the whole system at the corners of the excavation area. An alternative support system that uses the entire system is bracing of the walls with stru...
An Experimental Study of Cutting Performances of Worn Picks
Dogruoz, Cihan; Bolukbasi, Naci; Rostami, Jamal; Acar, Cemil (2016-01-01)
The best means to assess rock cuttability and efficiency of cutting process for using mechanical excavation is specific energy (SE), measured in full-scale rock cutting test. This is especially true for the application of roadheaders, often fitted with drag-type cutting tools. Radial picks or drag bits are changed during the operation as they reach a certain amount of wear and become blunt. In this study, full-scale cutting tests in different sedimentary rock types with bits having various degree of wear we...
