STABILIZATION OF SOIL WITH GRAVEL PILES . PROCEEDINGS OF THE FIFTH INTERNATIONAL CONGRESS. INTERNATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF ENGINEERING GEOLOGY, 20-25 OCTOBER 1986

This article describes a method of soil stabilization using gravel piles. A new solution is presented, with appropriate formulae and monograms for forecasting the level of soil stabilization provided by the piles in any one condition. In order to do this, data from over a thousand battened gravel piles has been analysed, including results of dynamic and static penetration tests and load trials. It is found that both saturated and non consolidated alluvial soils can be stabilized using gravel piles. A dynamic compressibility constant is proposed which defines the deformation properties of the improved soil. The optimum design for the piles is also presented, including optimum distances between the piles centres, pile diameter and depth. The French title of this paper is: "La stabilisation du sol au moyen des pieux de gravier". (TRRL)
