Abstract
Foundation systems with geotextile encased columns (GEC) are used for soil improvement and primarily for road embankment foundations in Germany, Sweden and the Netherlands since almost 10 years, but latterly they are also used in dike construction. In this paper the essential main features of the calculation of the bearing and deformation behaviour are described. Further the know-how gained by using the different installation methods and measurement results of the foundation system ‘geotextile encased columns' are discussed: Also a comparison of the gained settlement reduction between encased and non-encased columns (i.e. granualar piles) will be shown.
