IMPROVED STRESS STATE CALCULATION FOR GEOSYNTHETIC-ENCASED COLUMNS USING GRANULAR MEDIA MECHANICS
The paper is aimed at enhancing the computational method of Geosynthetic-Encased Columns (GECs) that enhance the engineering structures' foundations on weak soils. This method has proven to be effective in many projects, and the current technique fails to consider the distribution of stresses in the soil-filler, especially in loose soils. This stud...
