ATSE/Okiryu, Our options still range between rigid and semi-rigid inclusions due to ground conditions (riverbank mud and recent very soft to soft clays ~4-8m thk over moderately dipped rock head), site constraints (eg old buried structures where we have to work around with) and construction...
I'm looking for standards and good references to use for analysing rigid inclusions (e.g. CMC's, stone columns, piles, etc) to reduce consolidation settlements in soft clay after placement of fill + other surcharge loads. More specifically, I'm interested in calculating the average modulus...
