Embankments on soft soil reinforced with stone columns: numerical analysis and proposal of a new design method

A parametric study of an embankment on soft soils reinforced with stone columns is performed using a computer program based on the finite element method. The cylindrical unit cell formulation is used by modeling one column and its surrounding soft soil with confined axisymmetric behaviour. The compu...
