Reports a project at Rouen, Francej where an em-
bankment 8.5m high faced by a reinforced earth
wall 80m long was constructed on soft compress-
ible soil which had been strengthened by ballast
columns. The emplacement and behaviour of these
columns is discussed and the results of monitor-
ing deformation, horizontal and vertical
stresses, ar~. pore pressures in the embankment
at different depths over a period of months are
presented. An assessment is made of the useful-
ness and limitations of ballast colunns in im-
proving the stability of structures.

The main features of the frequency method pro-
posed are: (i) Modes of failure are unrestric-
ted within the class of plastic sheer mechan-
isms, (2) a shear reslstaDme is treated as a
ramdcm field in three ~m~nsions# the field
must be hcmogeneeus in the iomgltmdlnel direc-
tion (along the slol~) but ma~ be DoDhomo~eDeous
in transversal sections, (3) the l~obability
distribution of modal resistance can be either
normal or lognorm-1.

Finite element results obtained using an estsh-
lishc~l elastic half space model are in~sented
for the vertical response of pile-soil systems.
A simplified lumped mass (LM) medal of the
pile-soil system similar to a model ireviously
described by Novak is described. Results of
vertical pile response obtained using this LM
model cc~pare excellently with the response
calculated based upon the finite element method
add within 5 per cent of the results presented
by Novak for an incoc~n~ssible soil. Graphs
are presented for use in preliminary design
that provide estimates of the frequency of
maximum response add of the magnification fac-
tor as functions of the most significant mater-
ial amd geometric variables.
794170 STATIC AND DYNAMIC LATERALLY LOADED FLOATIE13
PILES
Kuhlemeyer, R L
J Geotech Engng Div ASCE, V105, N~T2, Feb
1979, P289-304
A previously formulated beam bending finite ele-
ment of circular cross section enabled an econo-
mical solution to the three-dimensional problem
of static and d ~ c laterally loaded piles
embedded in elastic media to be obtalr~d. The
general solution is almost solely a function of
the ratio of Youmg's modulus (E) of the pile
divided by E of the soil. Neither Poisson's
ratio of the soil nor the mass density of the
pile are important for practical application
purposes. Static loading results are presented
in the form of flexibility coefficients for a
range of two-layer soil systems. The d ~ m i c
loading fundamental solution for a pile embedded
in an elastic half space is presented in terms
of the statics solution multiplied by the assoc-
iated complex frequency-dependent factors.
