Idealized n~dels are presented that illustrate the roles
of stress wave reaction and inertia forces associated
with elasto-plastic void closure in the utilization of
!impact energy to compact soils. The difficulties in pred-
icting the impact of resp~se of real soils are discussed,
but the idealized models can be used to help elucidate soll
b ehaviour.

Loess soils may collapse when saturated. They may be
strengthened and their compressibility reduced by the in-
stallation of soil piles which enables them to be compac-
ted to a depth of 25m. Techniques used to sink the holes
and compact the loess in the soil piles are described.

Stene columns 0.9m in diam. and ll.3m long were constructed
on a triangular grid at 2.4m centres under one end of a
7.9m high trial e~aukment built on alluvium. The founda-
tiens were instrumented to measure settlements and pore
pressures. A comparison of the piled sad unpiled ground
shows that the columns had no apparent effect on the
performance of the embankment. It is probable that the
crushed limestone used was too coarse to act as a filter
so that the gravel backfill became clogged. Remoulding
of the adjacent soft clay during construction could have
also nullified potential drainage.

Field testing to evaluate stone column performance

GEOTECHN, V25, N1,1975, P61- 69.
Stcae columns 1.1m in diam. were constructed by vibro-repl-
acement in deep, soft, cohesive soils in an area of high-
est seismic susceptibility. Large scale field loading
tests showed that (a) the installation process sufficiently
densifies sand lenses with respect to liquefaction (b)
the reinforced ground develops sufficient Shear strength
to resist horizontal forces arising from a ground accel-
eration of 0.25g, (c) the stone columa pattern satisfying
(a) and (b) also provides an acceptable load-settlement
relationship.

~ e load-settlement relationship for plate loading of an
isolated stone colua~ in soft clay was predicted prior
to field testing. To predict the load-settlement curve,
the essential radial stress-straln data for the clay
were obtained from a Cambridge pressuremeter. The pre-
diction is excellent if allowance is made for transfer
