Dynamic Behavior of GESC Groups in Sand Under Sinusoidal Loading: A Continuum‐Discrete Coupled Analysis
Geotextile-encased stone columns (GESCs) for improving weak foundations commonly experience static and dynamic loads. However, the effectiveness of GESCs in resisting dynamic loading remains a concern. Three-dimensional numerical models using a continuum-discrete coupled method are developed to investigate the dynamic response of GESC groups in sand under sinusoidal loading.

Bearing Capacity and Deformation of the Tandem Compound Piles Improved Foundation: A Parametric Study
4. Results and Discussion 4.1. Effect of Cushion Thickness and Modulus The changes in vertical stress of both pile and soil caused by different cushion thicknesses after loading are shown in Figure 4a,b. Distinct variations in the vertical stress of the pile can be observed according to the thickness of the cushion in Figure 4a. The pile was subjected to a significant load, and its vertical stress decreased with a decrease in elevation when no cushion was set.
