A comparative study for the performance of encased granular columns

This paper describes a three-dimensional (3D) numerical analysis of a test embankment on geotextile-encased columns (GECs), in comparison with two-dimensional (2D) axisymmetric and plane strain analyses. The 3D numerical analysis was performed considering a rectangular strip under the embankment cen...
