Stability of Embankment Constructed on Soft Soil Treated with Soil–Cement Columns

Abstract The objective of this study was to investigate the effectiveness soil–cement (SC) columns, provided either individually or in combination with lime on stability embankment constructed soft consolidating soil. evaluated terms both settlement and factor safety at various time intervals during consolidation. columns studied numerically using two-dimensional plane strain finite element method. Settlement, excess pore water pressure were obtained intervals. From study, it concluded that SC effective improving throughout consolidation foundation Provision also embankment. In addition, affected by arrangement composite system. most improve need not be system after construction
