Rashma, R.S.V.Jayalekshmi, B.R.Shivashankar, R.2026-02-042022Geotechnical Engineering, 2022, 53, 4, pp. 36-40465828https://idr.nitk.ac.in/handle/123456789/22251In this study, the response of pervious concrete column-treated ground under shear loading is examined by employing a series of numerical analyses. The shear behaviour of pervious concrete column-treated ground is compared with stone column-treated ground and weak ground. Two types of analyses were carried out to assess shear strength of the composite ground. Conventional direct shear test model and large shear test models were evaluated using ABAQUS software. The pervious concrete column-treated ground is observed to have greater shear strength than the mere stone column-treated ground. The lateral deflection pattern of the pervious concrete column is also noticed to be very much lesser than conventional stone columns under static shear loading. The overall shear performance of the pervious concrete column-treated ground is found to be improved than the typical stone column-treated ground. © 2022, Southeast Asian Geotechnical Society.
