A numerical study of the suitability of rigid inclusion ground reinforcement beneath caisson quay walls by Holmwood, Andrew Graham

“…This study found that for a firm clay subsoil condition the proposed RI ground reinforcement scheme met the foundation performance criteria for this structural application provided (i) strategies to limit lateral loading were implemented and (ii) the RIs were reinforced over the length where they were not fully compressed. …”
