DETERMNATION OF BEARING CAPACITY OF BLACK COTTON SOIL REINFORCED WITH GRANULAR PILE USING PLAXIS 2D

Civil Engineering

Soil stabilization is a process that improves physical soil characters such as increased shear resistance; load capacity etc can be done by compacting or adding appropriate additives such as cement, lime, and waste materials such as ashes flying, foci, etc. Techniques like using stone columns or granular piles within expansive soil layers are getting popular and effective now a days. Different researchers have also observed that soil strength on wetting can be improved significantly by use of granular piles. The load carrying capacity can be improved greatly depending on the initial consistency of the soil as well as the basic characteristics of that expansive soil. Further in this paper it is found that by using granular piles, the expansiveness can also be greatly reduced for black cotton soil and bearing capacity can be enhanced. In this paper, we are going to find out the improvement of bearing capacity of the black cotton soil by reinforcing it with granular pile with the help of Plaxis2D V8.2 software and load settlement analysis is also done with help of this
