Bearing Capacity and Settlement Analysis of Intermediate Foundation (Short Rammed Aggregate Piers), M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology ; Pak, Ali (Supervisor)
Abstract
Using short rammed aggregate piers (RAP) is one of the ground improvement methods that is suitable for loose sands and soft clays. In this method, gravel or crushed stone is placed in layers with specific thickness in a pre-drilled cavity and each layer is fully compacted with impacts of a hammer. The basic advantages of these piers are increasing soil lateral stresses due to aggregate ramming and increasing the consolidation rate due to high permeability of aggregates. The main application of RAPs is soil improvement underneath shallow foundations, in order to increase the bearing capacity and reduce settlement of foundation. Regarding the usual height of 1.5 to 5m of these piers, a...
