This paper discusses the ground improvement using stone columns for construction of a new lattice communication tower in gas plant Saudi Arabia's Eastern Province. The geotechnical investigation data collected at project site revealed subsurface conditions loose to very sabkha soil with low SPT and N values (< 4) between 2.7 m 13 depth. Depending on design requirements, improvements must be ...

[1] Natural free convection is a process of great importance in disciplines from hydrology to meteorology, oceanography, planetary sciences, and economic geology, and for applications in carbon sequestration and nuclear waste disposal. It has been studied for over a century – but almost exclusively in theoretical and laboratory settings. Despite its importance, conclusive primary evidence of fr...
