ANALYSIS OF SOFT GROUND-GRANULAR PILE-GRANULAR MAT SYSTEM

A simple theoretical approach to analyze soft ground reinforced by granular piles with granular mat on top is presented. The interaction shear stresses between the granular pile and the surrounding soil are modified due to overburden pressure by the granular mat, which in turn affects the stress transfer between the granular pile and the soil. The granular mat is assumed as a rigid, smooth layer. Numerical evaluations are made to evaluate the effect of the presence of the granular mat on treated ground responses. The proposed method is validated by comparisons with other numerical models, finite element analysis and field test results. (A)
