3D Numerical Modeling of Rigid Inclusion-Improved Soft Soils Under Monotonic and Cyclic Loading—Case of a Small-Scale Laboratory Experiment

This paper is based on small-scale laboratory tests (1:10) of a rigid inclusion-improved soil under normal gravity. A low area improvement ratio (2.4%) under monotonic and cyclic loading was used. 3D numerical calculations are performed to model these tests. The proposed numerical modeling is perfor...
