It is shown among other things that unlike an isolated geosynthetic-encased stone column, full encasement of stone column is necessary to minimize the settlement for the embankment loading condition.
However, the compression of sands could be important in the design and analysis of critical structures (e.g., nuclear power plants, advanced laboratories, large dams) to minimize differential settlements.
It is also found that the required pile group-raft area ratio (Ag/Ar) for minimizing differential settlement in soft clay was slightly larger than that of stiff clay in the same pile array.
The flow chambers were designed and operated to mimic slow moving water bodies and minimize the gravitational settlement of cells.
Research objectives are therefore, on the one hand, to minimize the resulting settlements by improving machine technology and, on the other hand, to control the magnitude of the settlements and their consequences by an area-wide, exact monitoring.
An important task in research and practice is therefore, on the one hand, to minimize the resulting settlements by improving machine technology and, on the other hand, to control the magnitude of the settlements and their consequences by an area-wide, exact monitoring.
In the reclamation phase, the acceleration of consolidation in order to minimize the uneven residual settlement was of prime importance.
He shows that Jewish settlers had tremendous incentive to minimize all obstacles to settlement, including the inconvenient hostility of the existing population.
After large development loans were secured from Western creditors in the 1960s and '70s, dependence on foreign capital was minimized by the settlement of all foreign debts during the 1980s.
